#3 American citizen of Ethiopian descent.

Sources told ABC News the man's backpack contained what officials suspect is ammonium nitrate and spent 9mm shells as well as written material that contained statements including: "al qaeda taliban rules."

One source told ABC News that they need final confirmation on whether it is ammonium nitrate and it's not clear whether this was a workable device.

Apparently, this man is in the habit of acting suspiciously.

Previously, the man was suspected of planting suspicious devices just outside Washington, D.C., in the area of Arlington, Va., at the national cemetery, the Pentagon and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Test runs, then the real thing?

#10 Well, Yonathan is going to spend several interesting months being interviewed by half the federal LEOs in the eastern US. FBI, DHS, CID, USCIA, CIA, etc. ad nauseum, with more cavity searches than a handsome gay millionaire could buy on Castro Street.
