For those claiming that the fact that he made the statement on the internet shows it was a joke because a terrorist wouldn’t be dumb enough to do that, Please read the following and learn the realities of life.
#1 Some terrorists ARE DUMB! Most terrorist organizations don’t require IQ tests, Medical Exams, or Sexual harassment training before hiring you. A terrorist cell in Iraq used the mentally retard because they ARE dumb enough to strap a bomb to themselves and go BOOM.
#2 Not everyone who commits or threatens to commit an act of violence is what by most definitions would be called a terrorist. Many are lone nuts looking for attention or venting their anger.
#3 For those who still want to hold that a person seriously intent on harming and killing people would NEVER do so on the internet consider this remark made online in Germany in March 2009...
"Everyone laughs at me. No one recognizes my potential. I mean this seriously. I have got a weapon here and tomorrow I am going to go to my former school and give them hell.”
The next day 17-year-old Tim Kretchmer went to school and killed 15 people.
Try this one from 2008 about Christian Mogensen
“A computer consultant killed his wife and then took his own life just hours after posting a grim announcement about the murder-suicide on his website.”
As for this idiots threat there is NOTHING in the message that suggests it’s a joke. If the police had done nothing and next week 22 people were killed when a bomb went off at the airport, how loud would the public outcry of “The police knew this was going to happen but they did nothing!!!”
