The FBI announced on Friday that it arrested California tow truck driver Everitt Aaron Jameson for plotting a Christmas terror attack on Pier 39 in San Francisco. In statements to undercover informants, Jameson outlined a plan that would have involved running civilians down with his truck, deploying improvised explosives, and using his skills as a Marine sharpshooter to increase the body count. A note he evidently intended for publication after the attack swore allegiance to ISIS and cited President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as a reason for his actions. FBI documents state that Jameson planned to use his tow truck for a mass-casualty attack on Pier 39 because he "had been there before and knew it was a heavily crowded area." He reportedly said Christmas would be "the perfect day to commit the attack." "I'm glad to know we Muslims are finally hitting back. Allahu Akbar! The kuffar deserve everything and more [for] the lives they have taken," he allegedly told an FBI informant after the November 2 truck jihad attack in New York City, which killed eight people. "Allahu akbar! It says he was one of us. May Allah grant him Jannah firtuidus Amin," he said of New York City truck terrorist Sayfullo Saipov, indicating that he hoped Saipov would enter paradise as a reward for attacking the infidels. Jameson also reportedly spoke approvingly of the attack on a Christmas party by a husband-and-wife jihadi team in San Bernardino in December 2015 and suggested his operation would include vehicles, explosives, and firearms. He told an undercover agent that America "needed another attack like New York or San Bernardino." Read More |
