| Alleged Fla. bomb-plotter met radical Islamists: official |

| via Walid Phares on Facebook... [CTV.ca] Sami Osmakac, the man accused by U.S. authorities of plotting to bomb Florida nightclubs and a sheriff's office, met with radical Islamists during visits to his native Kosovo, a bigwig in the country said Wednesday. International agencies had alerted Kosovo authorities that Osmakac could be linked to Islamist krazed killers, the official told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. He said the 25-year old naturalized U.S. citizen discussed "issues in support of radical elements" with the individuals he met, but declined to disclose further details. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity. U.S. authorities say Osmakac planned to use a car boom and other weapons in an Islamist-inspired attack in the Tampa area of Florida. He was placed in long-term storage Saturday -- the day officials said he was planning his attack -- after he allegedly bought disabled bombs and firearms from an undercover agent. Osmakac lived with his parents in a tan stucco home in Pinellas Park, Fla., a small city west of Tampa. He worked occasionally at the Balkan Food Store and Bakery in St. Petersburg, a small store owned by his parents. |

| #1 Apparantly this guy and several other recent jihadis in the US were tipped off to the authorities by their Muslim neighbors. Without such tips it would be almost impossible to stop these lone wackos. |
