I'm not saying any loss of life is good, but this particular aimed attack is better than just blowing up people who have nothing to do with the actual route cause.
When people blow people up, who have nothing to do with any of the circumstances their fighting for, then it leads me to think that these are false attacks, unlike this one.
Nice find

Or maybe, just MAYBE there are in fact Muslims that hate the west and what it stands for? (Gasp! Say it ain't so! )
It's your thread yet you offer no reasoning or evidence to support exactly 'why' you normally suspect that those caught up in these plots are 'patsies'.
Normally my first hunch when these "plots" are uncovered is that they were set up as patsies. But in this instance they plead guilty. Perhaps there was some "influence" from an unknown group but there is no concrete information to indicate this at this time.

I never said that there weren't...way to put words in my mouth
But now that you mention it, just maybe there are in fact organizations that specialize in taking advantage of weak minded individuals and coaxing them into participating in the planning of "plots. Mansour J. Arbabsiar, the Toronto 18, Mohamed Osman Mohamud. Those are just a few, I'm not going to do all the work for you.
The small amount of details that are currently available resemble these other incidents I just mentioned.
Forgive me for assuming, but I thought most people were aware of the intelligence organizations routinely setting up people in the way of infiltrating groups of people with informants or undercover agents.

The question "Why" is easy - they were taken in by the various messages on the internet around how everyone hates the Moslems and they wanted to do something about this. For those people who are interested in this - try looking at the lectures/messages of Anwar Al-Awlaki, the recently deceased lecturer / radicalist who is mentioned as one of the groups main influencers.
Yes there are people in this world taken in by such hate messages. You do not need to invent the story of a patsie.
