USA: Most Terrorist Plots in the US Aren't Invented by Al Qaeda -- They're Manufactured by the FBI
In the ten years following 9/11, the FBI and the Justice
Department convicted more than 150 people following sting operations, though
few had any connection to real terrorists.
The following is an excerpt
from The
Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism by
Trevor Aaronson (Ig Publishing, 2012).
Antonio Martinez was a punk. The
twenty-two-year-old from Baltimore
was chunky, with a wide nose and jet-black hair pulled back close to his scalp
and tied into long braids that hung past his shoulders. He preferred to be
called Muhammad Hussain, the name he gave himself following his conversion to
Islam. But his mother still called him Tony, and she couldn’t understand her
son’s burning desire to be the Maryland Mujahideen.
As a young man, Martinez had been angry and lost. He’d
dropped out of Laurel High School, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and
spent his teens as a small-time thief in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. By the
age of sixteen, he’d been charged with armed robbery. In February 2008, at the
age of eighteen, he tried to steal a car. Catholic University
doctoral student Daniel Tobin was looking out of the window of his apartment
one day when he saw a man driving off in his car. Tobin gave chase, running
between apartment buildings and finally catching up to the stolen vehicle. He
opened the passenger-side door and got in. Martinez, in the driver’s seat, dashed out
and ran away on foot. Jumping behind the wheel, Tobin followed the would-be car
thief. “You may as well give up running,” he yelled at Martinez. Martinez was apprehended and
charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle—he had stolen the vehicle using an
extra set of car keys which had gone missing when someone had broken into
Tobin’s apartment earlier. However, prosecutors dropped the charges against Martinez after Tobin
failed to appear in court.
Despite the close call, Martinez’s petty crimes
continued. One month after the car theft, he and a friend approached a cashier
at a Safeway grocery store, acting as if they wanted to buy potato chips. When
the cashier opened the register, Martinez
and his friend grabbed as much money as they could and ran out of the store.
The cashier and store manager chased after them, and later identified the pair
to police. Martinez
pleaded guilty to theft of one hundred dollars and received a ninety-day
suspended sentence, plus six months of probation.
Searching for greater meaning in
his life, Martinez
was baptized and became a Christian when he was twenty-one years old, but he
didn’t stick with the religion. “He said he tried the Christian thing. He just
really didn’t understand it,” said Alisha Legrand, a former girlfriend. Martinez chose Islam
instead. On his Facebook page, Martinez
wrote that he was “just a yung brotha from the wrong side of the tracks who
embraced Islam.” But for reasons that have never been clear to his family and
friends, Martinez
drifted toward a violent, extremist brand of Islam. When the FBI discovered
him, Martinez
was an angry extremist mouthing off on Facebook about violence, with misspelled
posts such as, “The sword is cummin the reign of oppression is about 2 cease
inshallah.” Based on the Facebook postings alone, an FBI agent gave an informant
the “green light” to get to know Martinez
and determine if he had a propensity for violence. In other words, to see if he
was dangerous.
The government was setting the
trap.
On the evening of December 2, 2010,
Martinez was in another Muslim’s car as they
drove through Baltimore.
A hidden device recorded their conversation. His mother had called, and Martinez had just
finished talking to her on his cell phone. He was aggravated. “She wants me to
be like everybody else, being in school, working,” he told his friend. “For me,
it’s different. I have this zeal for deen and she doesn’t understand that.” Martinez’s mother didn’t
know that her son had just left a meeting with a purported Afghan-born
terrorist who had agreed to provide him with a car bomb. But she wasn’t the
only one in the dark that night. Martinez
himself didn’t know his new terrorist friend was an undercover agent with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and that the man driving the car—a man he’d met
only a few weeks earlier—was a paid informant for federal law enforcement.
