(Weekly Standard) — Fox News drops this big revelation following the arrest of Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, a Muslim soldier at Ft. Hood in Kileen, Texas this morning:
Sources said Abdo had enough materials to make two bombs, including 18 pounds of sugar and six pounds of smokeless gunpowder — a possible trigger for an explosive. A pressure cooker was also found.
“He was all ready to go,” one law enforcement source said.
Another counterterrorism source said the bomb making materials and methodology came “straight out of Inspire magazine and an Al Qaeda explosives course manual.”
Law enforcement officials suspect Abdo was planning an attack in or around Fort Hood, though they say the exact target is not clear.
