A “teenager,” born in Somalia but now a naturalized American citizen, has been charged with trying to kill hundreds of people at a Christmas tree lighting celebration in Portland, OR:
PORTLAND — A Corvallis teenager was arrested Friday in connection with a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting event.
The bomb was inert and posed no danger, officials said.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia and resident of Corvallis, was arrested on accusations of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at an annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, the Justice Department announced.
As usual, the mainstream media is afraid of using the word Muslim to describe this “teenager,” no doubt fearing a fatwah from the Religion of Peace. I guess they felt the guy’s name, which includes two versions of Mohamed, would be enough of a clue to readers.
Authorities were quick to assert that this was not part of some larger plot, and seemed to be an isolated incident. There sure have been a lot of isolated incidents involving Muslims lately.
