"That bomb was massive, though," Brice wrote in a text message to a friend. "Launched me like ten feet and I have crazy scars."

Proud red badges of jihad courage in Washington State.  Joseph Jeffrey Brice, convert to the religion of peace decided to try his hand at IED building over a year ago, and wouldn't you know, he suffered the embarrassment of premature detonation.  A lucky jihadist, he was not killed in the blast but he was severely injured.  The lesson some would learn from his foible was wasted on Brice as he is still a devotee to Allah and dedicated as ever to jihad.

The Feds have decided to arrest him now on terror-related charges, including creating a jihadi website and using it to post bomb-making tips and videos.  How shamed his Mom must be right now.

Federal prosecutors in Spokane are looking into charging an Asotin County man, who was critically injured in a bomb accident last year, with attempting to aid Islamic terrorists.

Joseph Jeffrey Brice, 21, is accused of creating a jihadi website and using it to post bomb-making tips and videos, according to federal sources and documents filed in U.S. District Court in Spokane.

Members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force executed several search warrants last week on homes and cars owned or associated with Brice, of Clarkston, who earlier this week was indicted by a Spokane grand jury for manufacturing a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) whose premature detonation nearly killed him in April 2010.

The warrants allege Brice set up a YouTube channel under the pseudonym "StrengthofAllah" and posted videos of explosions and jihad-related content.

Some of the videos, according to the FBI, were embedded with the Islamic logo of al-Qaida of Iraq. Bomb experts determined two of the videos of explosives were filmed near where Brice's injuries occurred along Highway 193 in Whitman County, according to the warrants.

A federal law-enforcement source familiar with the investigation said prosecutors are using information gathered with the warrants to determine whether to charge Brice with manufacturing a weapon of mass destruction and rendering material support to terrorists. A number of individuals who appear interested in jihad, including some within the U.S., accessed the site, according to the warrant.

Brice also allegedly planned through email with an unidentified man to rob a Zions First National Bank in Lewiston, Idaho, possibly using a bomb left on nearby school grounds to distract police. The plan was never put into motion.

Hmmm, jihad and Zions Bank...I wonder.

Agents also found links to an English-language magazine sponsored by al-Qaida.

They discovered videos Brice posted to a forum depicting suicide bombings in Pakistan, and also links he accessed to an English-language jihadi-linked site that contains instructions on how to make explosives, according to the search warrants.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Rice in Spokane would say only the investigation into Brice and his activities is ongoing.

Brice is the new, emerging face of Islam and jihad in America.  More of his type will appear, and with each one the threat of one of these American jihadists succeeding in murdering hundreds if not thousands increases until our luck runs out.
