Forty-Fifth Attempted Terrorist Plot: Suicide Attack on the U.S. Capitol

On Friday, authorities arrested a man in an attempted suicide attack on the U.S. Capitol. The attempt marks at least the 45th publicly known attempted terrorist attack against the United States since 9/11 and is the sixth such attack targeting Washington, D.C.

This latest attempted attack serves as yet another reminder of the importance of maintaining strong counterterrorism tools. Terrorists continue to seek to harm the U.S. The nation must not become complacent.

Attempted Suicide Attack

Amine El Khalifi, a 29-year-old Moroccan man present in the U.S. illegally, was arrested on Friday on his way to the U.S. Capitol. El Khalifi was carrying an automatic weapon and a suicide vest laced with what he believed to be explosives.

A statement by Capitol Police indicates the “arrest was the culmination of a lengthy and extensive operation during which the individual was closely and carefully monitored.” Sources indicate that El Khalifi has been under investigation for over a year.

Undercover FBI agents, whom El Khalifi believed to be al-Qaeda operatives, provided him with what he believed to be explosives and a gun to carry out his attack. The public, however, was never in danger as the FBI agents had rendered the weapons inoperable. El Khalifi allegedly discussed a number of targets—including military installations, U.S. Army generals, a restaurant, and synagogues—before settling on the U.S. Capitol.

First consider the source -- the NeoCon Heritage Foundation. Second consider that this, like most domestic terror plots, was fabricated. “Undercover FBI agents, whom El Khalifi believed to be al-Qaeda operatives, provided him with what he believed to be explosives and a gun to carry out his attack. The public, however, was never in danger as the FBI agents had rendered the weapons inoperable.” This patsy thought he was working with al-Qaeda [a--CIA-duh] but, lo and behold, it was the FBI!
This has been done many times post 911 -- patsies are used who are completely under the control of US/Western intelligence. This was proven to be the case with the underwear bomber. The dreaded underwear bomber was used as the excuse to roll out the naked body scanners by the TSA. (Of course these scanners were purchased before the attempted underwear bomber incident.)
It appears that the NWO wants to create fear from phony terror plots and the unrest abroad. They may be preparing the US public for war with Iran. I’ve even heard mainstream news “analysts” blame Iran for the unrest in Muslim nations.
