KILLEEN, Texas (AP) — An AWOL Muslim soldier who had been granted conscientious objector status earlier this year was arrested and bomb-making materials were found in his motel room near Fort Hood, the same Texas Army post where 13 people were ****** in a 2009 shooting rampage blamed on an Army psychiatrist, an FBI spokesman said Thursday.
Killeen police arrested Pfc. Naser Abdo, 21, on Wednesday and agents found firearms and "items that could be identified as bomb-making components, including gunpowder," in his motel room, said FBI spokesman Erik Vasys.
A clerk at the *** store where the 2009 Fort Hood shootings suspect bought a ****** used in the ****** told The Associated Press on Thursday that he alerted police after a man bought weapons and gunpowder there this week.
(Well, conspiracy before the fact.)
