And why […] Read in browser » NYC jihad mass murder plotter fired from job tutoring elementary schoolers By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2015 09:56 pm It was a sad day. “They loved her.” They thought she was the bomb. “Accused Terrorist Who Plotted Bombing Campaign Fired From Job Tutoring Kids,” by Katie Honan, DNAinfo, April 7, 2015: JACKSON HEIGHTS — An accused wannabe terrorist who allegedly plotted to detonate bombs across the city was fired from her job as an […] Read in browser » Canada: Jihad plotter wanted to rival 9/11 in British Columbia By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2015 09:36 pm He also worried that he wasn’t smart enough to pull off a jihad terror attack. And it’s true: he wasn’t. If he had been smarter, he wouldn’t be on trial.
