Man Charged With D.C.-Area Subway Bomb Plot

Justice Department says he thought he was working with al-Qaida

A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was arrested Wednesday on charges of planning bombings at Metrorail stations in the Washington, D.C., area after an FBI sting operation, the Justice Department announced

"Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., was arrested today for attempting to assist others whom he believed to be members of al-Qaida," the department said in a statement.

A grand jury returned an indictment against Ahmed on Tuesday, "charging him with attempting to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization, collecting information to assist in planning a terrorist attack on a transit facility, and attempting to provide material support to help carry out multiple bombings," the department added.

If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison.

We are way to lenient in who we allow in this country. Muslims should not be allowed in period, and the ones that are here now should renounce radical Islamic beliefs or go back to whichever third world country they came from.

Want to stop it??/ Take him out in the public square, stake him down and shoot him in the gut. Leave him to die in public...if he ain't dead in 24 hours, shoot him in the leg. Give it another 24 hrs....I'm really tired of the weak and laughable way we treat people who openly and without apology try to kill large numbers of Americans who are doing NOTHING but shopping, going for ice cream, or headed to work....as long as we say "did you get your rights, poor guy?? And "did anyone slap you in the face?", or "have you been given a Koran in your cell?", we will CONTINUE to see this, but not always be so lucky as to CATCH them BEFOREHAND....its war, baby....ACT LIKE IT.
