A Somali born naturalized citizen attempted to detonate a van bomb at a tree lighting ceremony in Portland Oregon on Friday.
Mohamed Osman Muhamud (whose name will be only reluctantly given by most of the press) believed that he had a van full of explosives that would be set off by cell phone.
When he dialed the number, waiting FBI agents arrested him.
He was yelling "Allahu Akbar!" as he was taken away.
Muhamud came to the FBI's attention when he began communicating with an "associate" located in Pakistan via e-mail.
The FBI pretended to be another associate of the first contact and took over communication with Muhamud, eventually providing him with fake explosives and watching him for many months prior to the arrest.
One damning act by this Yahoo is the stereotypical Jihad video he made.
Instant confession.
