<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAbout a year ago, we talked about John T Booker<\/a>, who plotted to detonate a bomb at Fort Riley, Kansas. originally, Booker had planned to join the Army and initiate a “blue on blue” attack when the opportunity presnted itself, but he was thwarted by a recruiter who thought he was just a little too nutty to put in uniform, so his plans changed. Booker pleaded guilty last winter in a deal that would result in 30 years in prison. He had a co-conspirator in his notorious plot, well, he had one co-conspirator who wasn’t an FBI informant anyway – Andrew Blair. Blair pleaded guilty yesterday according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n According to prosecutors, Blair lent John T. Booker $100 to pay for storage of a bomb that Booker planned to detonate in April 2015 outside of the Fort Riley military post, which is about 60 miles west of Topeka. Booker planned the IS-inspired attack with two contacts who were actually confidential FBI informants, and when he tried arming the bomb, which was fake, FBI agents arrested him.<\/p>\n Prosecutors say Blair and Booker met at a Topeka mosque in January 2015 and that they shared similar views about waging jihad against the U.S. military.<\/p>\n During the hearing, Blair conceded that he believed Booker was working on behalf of the Islamic State and meant to kill as many soldiers as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Blair is looking at five years for not reporting Booker’s plans to authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
