FBI, Military Search For Jihadist Ex-Army Recruit

Fox News is reporting that the FBI is looking for an Army recruit suspected of planning a “Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers.

Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, or Booker, is being sought by military intelligence and law enforcement, after telling his friends that he intended to “commit jihad” once he entered the military.

Hassan is said to have been discharged from the military last week, before he started basic training, which was scheduled for April 7.

The Army posted an alert titled,” Planned Fort Hood-inspired Jihad against US Soldiers by Army Recruit”

“On 20 March 2014, the Kansas City Division FBI became aware of an individual named BOOKER aka Muhammad Abdullah Hassan who had publicly stated his intention to commit jihad, bidding farewell to his friends and making comments indicating his jihad was imminent. BOOKER had been recruited by the US Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for Basic Training on 7 April 2014. Kansas City Division Agents interviewed BOOKER on 20 March 2014.”

Fox News:

Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Ty Balzer confirmed the alert’s legitimacy, but referred questions to the FBI. A spokeswoman with the Kansas City Division of the FBI — the same division responsible for sending out the alert and who, according to the alert, spoke with Booker on March 20 — said she did “not have any information to provide in regards to your inquiry.”

Law enforcement sources familiar with the alert said it appeared to suggest that there may be others in addition to Booker who also might have expressed similar intentions to commit jihad against U.S. military installations.

You would think that military and law enforcement would have nabbed him first, before discharging him, which probably tipped this guy off that authorities were on to him?
