Mohamed Osman Mohamud tried to plan a bomb event during a Portland town celebration in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square. He wanted to have a "spectacular show" that would kill and injure hundreds or even thousands of people. Mohamud is 19 years old and always wanted to hurt Americans by planning something like this. The FBI has been tracking and watching the moves of Mohamud because he seemed suspicious of something. He was in contact with the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center. The FBI interfered with his plan and gave him a fake bomb for the big "spectacular show". He was arrested at 5:42, which was 18 minutes before the tree lighting would start. He even said that he liked the outcome of 9-11. This investigation basically started in the summer of 2009. Good thing he was caught before he had the chance to hurt many people.
I'm so glad that he didn't hurt innocent people. It seems like you can never be safe. You have to always worry about where you go or if you can go to that place by yourself. I will love the day when I won't have to think of something bad things happening to me or murders and rapists on the news. Why is the world like this? The news is not my favorite thing to watch because you already know what's going to on there; weather and people being arrested for committing something outrageous. Life is scary place, for everyone. Live everyday as your last and all the way to your potential.
