Teen Muslim Convert in Vegas Busted in Bomb Plot

“I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah.”

It’s been a busy day of terror for the Religion of Peace.

So far there’s been a bombing of a Catholic mass in the Philippines, a terror plot against a Christmas market in Germany, and a Muslim going on a stabbing spree in Paris.

Closer to home, another American teenager decided to pick up a Koran, convert and kill his former fellow Americans.

Police described the suspect as a 16-year-old from Las Vegas who was a recent convert to Islam. A search warrant was served, and the teenager was taken into custody without incident. A police search found components for building an improvised explosive device along with bomb-making recipes and instructions, Deputy Chief Dori Koren said Friday.

He had allegedly posted the message, “Peace be upon all brothers who see this. I am here to announce that I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah. I ask you to make Dua for victory. I am a supporter of the Islamic State, and I will make sure the zionists in this city know it.”

Additionally, police found terrorism propaganda, a handmade ISIS flag, a headband and patches. Evidence also included ISIS and Al-Qaida propaganda, radicalization materials, and guidance for conducting a terrorist attack, investigators said. Police also found self-portraits of the suspect wearing the material and surrounded by propaganda, self-produced terrorism propaganda and anti-Semitic threats.

Investigators said there was no indication of a continued threat, calling it “isolated.”

I’m not sure you can describe a threat involving a population this large, which has now been involved in terrorism in multiple countries, from Asia to Europe to the Middle East to America, as “isolated”.
