    Moroccan man in America tries to blow up seat of government

    ALEXANDRIA, Virginia | Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:10pm EDT

    (Reuters) - A Moroccan man pleaded guilty on Friday to attempting to bomb the U.S. Capitol building in Washington in February, 2012, and could face up to 30 years in prison.

    Amine El Khalifi, 29, an illegal immigrant who lives in Alexandria, Virginia, struck an agreement with prosecutors under which he pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court in Virginia.

    He was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against property owned and used by the United States, intending to detonate a bomb and to shoot people.

    He was arrested near the U.S. Capitol on February 17 wearing a vest he believed was full of explosives supplied by al-Qaeda. He was charged with the attempted suicide bombing of Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

    LOL, Al Qadea is trying to bring that suicide bombing **** here again.
    Bombing the U.S would have resulted in very serious consequences for radical Muslims.

    Why is it so many of these moronic Jihad-salafists and wahabist nutters are from Morocco, and spain ... and largely northern Africa at large, traditionally the ever so slightly more modern and western arab nations?

    Eh, there are nutty Muslims wherever. 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi which is far from modern. The radicals in Morocco probably reason that their King is being supported by the west and they gotta get payback for our support of what they perceive to be unislamic tyrannical rule.
