19-year-old accused of trying to blow up a Dallas tower

Story

Smadi was arrested in an FBI sting Thursday. Authorities said the Jordanian, who claimed to be a supporter of al-Qaeda, parked an SUV packed with what he thought were explosives outside Fountain Place, a 60-story office tower at Ross Avenue and Field Street.

I havent seen this posted on here yet but it is a day old.

I didnt really see barley any coverage on the local news about this and I thought this would be pretty big news down here. This guy is 19 years old. Im kind of sketchy about this story, it does kind of sound fishy. Hes pretty young to already of been trained and all that.

Really you think he's young to know that? Military service teaches kids that age such things. I knew a kid in high school who knew how to make explosives. A motivated person can learn quickly. But I agree something seems off about this. There is something missing to this.
