(Fox News) A federal grand jury has indicted a Somali-American in an alleged plot to blow up a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon. The Indictment filed Monday charges 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. The teen was arrested Friday evening near the crowded Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, amid a FBI sting operation that followed months of investigation. The indictment comes as Attorney General Eric Holder defended federal agent's action in the case. The FBI set up a sting operation to investigate Mohamud after receiving a tip. Holder rejected the suggestion that Mohamud was a victim of illegal entrapment by the FBI. Once the undercover operation began, the suspect "chose at every step to continue" with the bombing plot, said Holder.
"He was told that children--children--were potentially going to be harmed," the attorney general added. Also Monday, information surfaced about a 2009 investigation of Mohamud on rape allegations, but he was never charged. The Benton County District Attorney's Office didn't find a reason to charge Mohamud with a crime after a woman whose name was redated in the documents filed a sexual assault complaint against him. Mohamud had sex with the woman in an Oregon State dorm room on October 31, 2009. An analysis of the woman's urine failed to show any controlled substances or common pharmaceuticals. Mohamud claims he and the girl were "a little tipsy" when they left a fraternity party and returned to his dorm room.
It would boggle our minds if we knew how many potential homegrown Muslim terrorists we have in America, such as Mohmud, for example. America has allowed refugees from Somali to come to this great country with the onset of the Somali Civil War in 1991. Tens of thousands of Somali refugees have emigrated to America since that time. Now we have a teenage man of Somali descent that tried to blow up a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland. How many more potential homegrown Muslim terrorists are there waiting to commit an act of jihad for the sake of Islam? I believe it's insane to allow refugees to come to America that espouse the Islamic religion. There needs to be major changes in America's immigration policy concerning what nationalities we allow into our country. Our government shouldn't allow refugees from the Middle East that are Muslim to emigrate to this country any more. As a result of U.S. policies in allowing refugees from Somali, for example, there's a great possibility that America will become a breeding ground for terrorists.
