Radicalized Muslim Planned Jihad Attack on White House
(Washington Times) Victor Morton - Hasher Jallal Taheb, 21, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of planning a jihad attack in Washington. Taheb was arrested immediately after picking up weapons in an FBI sting operation. He told an FBI informant in October that he "wished to conduct an attack in the United States against targets such as the White House" and a "specific synagogue" in the Washington area. Taheb said that "jihad was the best deed in Islam and the peak of Islam," and "it was not complicated at all to do jihad today." He said that he wanted to be a "martyr" and do as much damage as possible.
