Newsflash: Muslims Still Want to Kill Us All

A Muslim man from Morocco who had been living in the Northern Virginia area for 13 years strapped on a suicide vest and headed to the US Capitol building in a martyrdom operation. Lucky for all of us he was stupid. He was arrested by the FBI in a sting operation.

From the WaPo here:

The FBI and the U.S. Capitol Police arrested a Moroccan man Friday in downtown Washington after a lengthy investigation into an alleged plot to carry out a suicide attack on the Capitol.

Amine el-Khalifi, 29, was picked up while carrying an inoperable gun and a fake suicide vest provided to him by undercover FBI agents posing as al-Qaeda associates. They said he entered the United States when he was 16 and was living as an illegal immigrant in Arlington, Va., having reportedly overstayed his visitor’s visa for years.

Khalifi was arrested in a parking garage on Constitution Avenue NW a few blocks from the Capitol following a year-long investigation. He was carrying with him a vest that he believed was packed with explosives but that actually contained harmless material.

When I heard a terrorist plot was stopped, at first I thought it was Occupy Wallstreet scum. But a Muslim male would of course make more sense.
