Fox News<\/a> reports that the FBI foiled yet another “lone wolf” attack, this time on the Capitol. When he was arrested today, he was wearing what he thought was a suicide vest, but the FBI insist that it was inert material and that no one was ever in real danger;<\/p>\n

The man, in his 30s and of Moroccan descent, was nabbed following a lengthy investigation by the FBI, initiated after he expressed interest in conducting an attack. It’s unclear how the FBI learned of his aspirations. <\/p>\n

The man thought undercover FBI agents assisting him in his plot were associates of Al Qaeda. <\/p>\n

A short time earlier, he had been praying at a mosque in the Washington area. His destination was Capitol Hill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure the Department of Homeland Security is now ginning up a statement that explains why this is NOT terrorism. The guy was probably in DC for the Ron Paul rally on Monday.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> According to court documents<\/a>, this dude, El Khalifi came to the US on a tourist visa which expired back in 1999. So I see we’ve been doing a real bang-up job with immigration policy. We let them stay long enough illegally to think we’ve become complacent and they become ingrates.<\/p>\n

Apparently his targets of choice was a restaurant where generals would be with a follow-up target of a military installation. But then he changed his mind on a drive to West Virginia to practice with explosives and weapons and switched his preferred target to the Capitol. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
