Florida man charged in plot to bomb September 11 memorial event
[Express] A man faces up to 20 years in jail after allegedly helping to plan a bomb attack on a memorial to the September 11 attacks. Joshua Ryne Goldberg was arrested and charged with distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction.
Goldberg, who began talking online with an FBI informer in July, and reportedly gave them information on how to build a bomb with a pressure cooker, nails and rat poison. He also told the informer to place the bomb at an event commemorating the 14th anniversary of 9/11 in Kansas City, Missouri today.
In a message sent on August 27, he reportedly wrote, "Put the backpack near the crowd. But make sure it's in a place where the [police] won't think anything of it."
Court documents allege he was traced after tweets about a Daesh-inspired shooting in Texas in May earlier this year. Two armed men were gunned down after opening fire at a controversial event which featured cartoon depictions of Mohammed. He tweeted, "I have a vast network of mujahideen around the world, and will continue to inspire and coordinate jihad attacks around the world."
