American Jihadist Arrested in Wichita Airport Bomb Plot
(AP-ABC News) Roxana Hegeman - The FBI arrested Terry Lee Loewen, 58, as part of an FBI sting after he drove a vehicle loaded with what he thought were explosives to a Wichita airport. Loewen, who worked at the airport, had been under investigation for about six months after making online statements about wanting to commit "violent jihad" against the U.S. Loewen planned to die in the explosion, a fate that he said was inevitable in his quest to become a martyr in a jihad against America. Investigators said Loewen frequently expressed admiration for Anwar Al-Awlaki, the American-born al-Qaeda leader who was killed in a 2011 drone strike in Yemen.
