Fla. man plotted to carry out 9/11 memorial bombing in Mo.

A Florida man is in custody after allegedly plotting to help carry out a terror attack during a Sept. 11 memorial in Kansas City, Mo., this weekend.

Joshua Goldberg, of Orange Park, was arrested Thursday after federal authorities say the 20-year-old instructed an undercover officer on how to create and detonate a pressure-cooker bomb during the city's Memorial Stair Climb on Sunday.

The explosive would have contained nails and metal shrapnel dipped in rat poison, a chemical which would help ensure the victims bleed out due to its use as a blood thinner, according to federal authorities.

The Jacksonville-area resident was tracked down through his internet communications, where he claimed to have motivated two gunmen into storming a Muhammad cartoon convention in Garland, Tex., in June.

That attack left two people dead.
