EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.Just awesome.
The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.
Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt.
First the Army has lost track of one of its ex-recruits that it finds wants to commit "Jihad" against the US military and second, we have a US Army unit conducting an investigation that might have its roots inside the US.
A bigger question is this.
Why did they make this public? Are the leads that few? Are they worried about these guys going operational?
Is an attack imminent?
More to come I'm sure.
SIDENOTE: Does this information put a different spin on the attack of the docked ship by the madman that resulted in the killing of one of our Sailors? Was he part of this jihad?
