B. Hussein’s “muslim outreach” program isn’t going too well.
A Pakistani-born Virginia man was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday on suspicion of taking part in what he thought to be plans for a simultaneous al Qaeda attack next year on multiple Northern Virginia Metrorail stations, the Justice Department said.
Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, was taken into custody on charges he attempted to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization, collected information to assist in planning a terrorist attack on a transit facility, and attempted to provide material support to terrorists.
Officials said that at no time was the public in danger during what appears to be a sting operation and that the FBI was aware of Mr. Ahmed’s activities and closely monitored them until his arrest.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison. Mr. Ahmed was scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
“It’s chilling that a man from Ashburn is accused of casing rail stations with the goal of killing as many Metro riders as possible through simultaneous bomb attacks,” said Neil H. MacBride, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

“….at no time was the public in danger”
Really??? Only because you were actually able to track this one. Islamic terrorists are like a mine field. It’s the ones you don’t know about that present the real danger. Think about the thousands of Ahmed’s that haven’t popped up on the radar screens of the FBI and Homeland Security.
On the other hand, CAIR, the Arab-American Action Network, the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat al Fuqra, and Feisal Abdul Rauf are operating terrorist fronts right under their noses. The FBI and the Pentagon give tours and dinners for the very Islamic terrorists they’re supposed to eradicate.
Either way, we are so screwed.
