The Christmas Bomber Wannabe. Does the fun every stop?

U.S. prosecutors (click title to entry - thank you) say an Oregon teenager of Somali descent has been arrested in an alleged terrorist plot to car-bomb a Christmas tree lighting event in the northwestern city of Portland, Oregon Friday night.

Authorities say 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud was taken into custody by agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation after he dialed a cell phone intending to detonate a bomb, but instead rang for the FBI in a sting operation.  

Mohamud had earlier been given phony explosives by undercover officers, who first learned of his alleged plot last year....


I guess this is the way the authorities bring in those that have radical ideas against the people of the USA.  At one time it would have been called entrapment, now it is a strategy to stop idiocy.  I guess.  One has to wonder if there is something magical about being a young man that seems to be a challenge to these men.  Nineteen years old and he wants to kill people.  What the heck?  Life has no promise for him except death?
