Hollywood man accused of plot to blow up Aventura synagogue

Officials said that they began investigating James Gonzalo Medina in March after learning that he had discussed wanting to attack a south Florida synagogue. Medina, 40, of Hollywood, Fla., was arrested Friday while carrying the device toward the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, which is also home to a Holocaust memorial and an education facility for children.

In an FBI affidavit, authorities said that Medina had initially told a confidential federal source that he had wanted to attack the center using AK-47 assault rifles. This source expressed concerns about the guns being traced or the assailant getting shot while going inside a synagogue with a rifle, suggesting instead “leaving an unspecified object behind,” the FBI said.

Medina is described by the FBI as having converted to Islam about four years earlier and wanting to attack a synagogue “because Jewish people are the ones causing the world’s wars and conflicts.” In a transcript of a recorded conversation with the FBI’s unnamed source, Medina says that he wanted to “strike back” against Jewish people, adding: “It’s a war, man, and it’s like it’s time to strike back here in America.”

Interesting name...coincidence?

The Obama administration will ignore this, because as Frank Zappa sang: "It can't happen here."

I have to call you on that one Buzz. It was a cheap shot, IMHO. I would have thought you to be above that. Unless you are saying that you think the President would ignore this success by the FBI just because it was going to be an attack on a Jewish Center.

And BTW, score one for the good and brave and intelligent men and women of the FBI. Well done!

Besides Frank has been dead for 23 years and likely never heard of Barack Obama.

I will apologize if Obama mentions it INDICATING WHO THE PERPETRATOR WAS.

''Fortunately good police work prevented it...this time.''

This time...yes, this time, but there will be more, history tells you that.

There will always be another time. It's inevitable.

"There will always be another time. It's inevitable."

Yes, especially thanks to present policies.
