CNN reports that a lone-wolf terror suspect has been arrested who was in the process of building a pipe bomb and targeting New York City. Deb Feyerick spoke with anchor Don Lemon Sunday night about how the suspect learned how to put the device together.

“Apparently he learned how to build a pipe bomb by reading through Inspire magazine. That is the al Qaeda magazine, an online magazine, which tells interested people how to do these kind of things,” Feyerick reported. “We are told by the source that the man had acquired all the material and was even going so far as to drill holes in a pipe bomb. He was going to use homemade ingredients in order to detonate this device and the device, had he put it together correctly, would, in fact, have worked. We’re being told that he planned to target service men and women returning from Iraq. He also intended on targeting police stations or post offices, and again, this is a pipe bomb and had it gone off, it could have killed close to a dozen people, especially if he attached things like nails. He was following instructions from this al Qaeda-based magazine on this website. We are told that there was an informant who was monitoring this person, who was involved. this is the man who has been on the NYPD radar for about two years.”

    he read how to build a pipe bomb through a magazine? You can learn the same stuff from the internet… I thought Al Qaeda joined the 21st century… by bombing us back to the 18th century…

    Thats terrible shame on you.

    Ha! 

    Number of successful foreign terrorist attacks on US soil, Clinton administration, in 8 years: zero.
    Number of successful foreign terrorist attacks on US soil, Shrub administraion, in 8 years: only one (9/11)
    Number of successful foreign terrorist attacks on US soil, Obama administration, 3 years: zero.

    It just DON’T ADD UP, do it?

    Isn’t this convenient for Bloomberg.

    If successful, it wouldn’t be ‘foreign.’

    He had his own website praising Bib Laden, I am sure the CIA was spying on an American citizen.

  • Uniquenewyork

    It was an online magazine.

    1993: World Trade Center bomb terrorises New YorkA suspected car bomb has exploded underneath the World Trade Center in New York killing at least five people and injuring scores more.Rahman’s organisation, the Islamic Group, is believed to have links to Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network, accused of carrying out the 11 September attacks.

    Even if you don’t count the embassy  bombings or the attack on the USS Cole, you’re neglecting the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.  It killed 6 people.

    Beat me to it, Moderate.

    “Many home grown terrorist are Hispanic, Macho cultures seem to adapt to terrorism.”

    That sounds racist, even by my standards.

  • Anonymous

    Six Americans died during the first WTC bombing during the Clinton administration. So once again, you are wrong.

    Well then, ANY one can read it, if it’s on line. It’s not like there’s some initiation or loyalty oath or secret password or access controls or anything.

    There used to be Bircher magazines & KKK magazines; now there are TP online sites & such wonderful sources of inspiration as World Net Daily for your white nativist emotional needs. There have been and ARE biker gang & survivalist & white supremacist magazines & websites, each of them containing all manner of ongoing conversation threads & articles with helpful hints & how-to’s on making & secreting bombs, & how to get maximum damage results from automatic weapons shooting patterns (Hey, check out the STORM series on how to take over small countries & foment local rebellion, how to take over your local town’s infrastructure, how best to get buildings to burn down so quickly no one has time to get out. 

    There’s no end of source material from regular garden variety All-American crazoids for feeding just about any nutter online mag you might wish to start up. You can even get helpful hints on how to handle degrading uranium  & plutonium, trigger devices, delivery systems, how to make fertilizer bombs & calculate the maximum damage & scale them up to your custom requirements. There’s online magazines on how to torture & how to delay death while maximizing pain responses. This is just all HOME GROWN stuff, mind you, for the DOMESTIC “market”; it’s not as if this guy NEEDED specialized info from your genuine authorized local al Qaeda distributorship, there’s TONS of such stuff on the net.

    And the reason you won’t be seeing any end of this or ANY “al Qaeda” brand name websites is this is how our National Security Agency & the Homeland Security Agency tracks these guys, how they’re always getting picked up ‘on the verge’ these days. 

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Nah, no need for the CIA to be doing any of that: we got the DHS department and the NSA – way better tools, and all legal. Total Surveillance it’s called. 

    Shrub brought it in, under the radar because Congress had a long-standing rule against that sort of thing. The incident where it became clear that Obama was never going to bring any sort of drastic changes to this sort of thing Shrub & Cheney brought us was in 2007 and then again in 2008 with the Congressional capitulations to Shrub on the NSA domestic spying apparatus, giving full cover to AT&T and other internet service providers & the big technology corps. 

    Everything you do on the Net is recorded and secreted away in some grotesquely huge data bank awaiting the day the FBI or the DOJ or the NSA gets interested in YOU, whereupon they put together a big package and go see one of the special judges in the federal court system with the power to authorize opening it all up & getting into your privacy. We’re you not paying attention. WIRED has a blog that’s all over this stuff, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation non-profit tries to get the courts to go after it, to little avail. James Bamberger has written entire books about this stuff.
