Descripción de Terror Attack Foiled Just Days Before July 4th!

For you, July 4th meant barbecues, fireworks and parades. For terrorists, it meant ‘media opp’ - a perfect time to strike! So, you probably didn’t know that a terror attack on American soil was foiled just days before we celebrated America’s birthday this year. Demetrius Pitts, an 'al-Qaeda wannabe’, was arrested for plotting to attack Cleveland, after he had been tracked by the FBI for about two years. His plans included giving little explosive-filled cars to children watching fireworks and the Fourth of July parade! He especially wanted to attack military members and their families. Pitts was born and radicalized in the U.S. He first came to FBI attention when he sent a message on Facebook, using the name Abdur Raheem Rahfeeq, to an obscure radio show, saying, “The USA will be destroy (sic). Allah Akbar.” Subsequently, his conversations with an undercover FBI agent were recorded, and reveal his hatred for Americans and his plots to attack us. The Criminal Complaint charges him with: attempt to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization - and could put him away in prison for 20 years, if convicted. In this podcast, you will hear Pitts’ own words, as he tells the FBI agent about all his evil plans. His words also reveal that he is suffering from some form of mental illness, to which his years of drug abuse contributed. Will his defense be successful in using this to mitigate his charges?
