U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI on Friday arrested a Moroccan man who was planning a suicide attack on the Capitol, police and a federal law-enforcement official said.
The man received what he thought was a vest with explosives, but the materials in the vest had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement, Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said.
He was arrested as soon as he accepted the vest from undercover officers, the federal law-enforcement source said.
The man had been closely monitored as part of a lengthy and extensive undercover operation, police said, adding U.S. Capitol Police had been "intimately" involved in the investigation.
The public was never in danger, police said.

lol @ leeintulsa, thats a whole helluva lot easier to believe than the other malarky, and yea thats me puttin it nicely! Pretty much falls into line with the crap they fed us bout 9/ll.
@ banasy©
With their whackers burned off, they might become one of those 72 virgins.
So what now, this poor schmuck gets to live out the rest of his life in prison? Sheesh! Good thing the rest of us dont buy into all the garbage they feed us, the prisons would be full eh?
Nice sting, but there must be a lot more that are able to act alone without the FBI's help...how come we never hear about them and not a single blast has gone off since 9/11? Hard to believe. Or is it all censored by the government?
From what I hear, Rawr, they were in the first place.
Kinda makes you think back a month or 2 ago when they prosecuted that dude who supposedly fired at the white house. They discovered the bullets holes a few days after it happened, determined it came from a drive by, but were able to track down the perp???
Also, if i BELIEVE everything i read, this week alone, i have won 2 lotteries, one for l million and another for l and l/2 million! roflmmfao!
@chrissy:
Wow!
How did that happen without you even playing?
The article mentioned it was a long undercover sting. I wonder how long they worked with this nutto before he'd agree to wear the vest? You know they could have busted the idiot months ago on a lessor charge, but needed that career enhancing Suicide Bomber Vest Arrest on their personnel file.
Lmao @ banasy, EXACTLY! Freakin morons! And one was a text sent to my phone even! Damn scammers!
@ banasy, also apparently, if im stupid enough to believe all that, in the poorest country in the world, africa, i have a few dead relatives that have left me millions! You know me, DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE RELATIVES IN AFRICA?? Lmfao!

OK, I think the concept of "personhood" has gone too far! This is totally spawned by Citizens United! When a Capitol building, or a whole city can commit "suicide" isn't it time to dismantle this nutty "personhood" decree!? I vote yes! The End!!
