Two men have been arrested for plotting to blow up a military recruiting center in Seattle.
"Driven by a violent, extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the Armed Forces to serve and protect our country. This is one of a number of recent plots targeting our military here at home..."
No mention, as usual of what drives these two to commit murder, nothing in the way of an identifier or any kind of explanation as to the who of this potential deadly attack. Was it the Catholics? The Mormons? Those pesky Amish? Druids? We are left to assume that it is anybody but a Muslim, anyone except a young Middle eastern male between 19 and 35.
Naaah, couldn't have anything to do with Ialsm, could it?

Two men arrested in terrorism plot aimed at Seattle military station
The U.S. Justice Department says two men were arrested Wednesday night for plotting to attack a military recruiting station in Seattle.
Law enforcement began monitoring Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, a.k.a. Joseph Anthony Davis and Walli Mujahidh, a.k.a. Frederick Domingue in early June after someone notified them of being approached about participating in an attack and supplying firearms.
The person agreed to work with agents.
"The only reason we were able to disrupt this plot, which was a very real and chilling plot, is because someone stepped forward and told law enforcement," said attorney Jenny Durkin with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Abdul-Latif, of Seattle, and Mujahidh, of Los Angeles, were captured on video and on audio discussing the attack on the Military Entrance Processing Station on East Marginal Way, a building that houses many civilians, military employees, and a daycare. MEPS are where military branches screen and process enlistees.
According to the DOJ, the men intended to use grenades and machine guns in the attack. The weapons were rendered inoperable without the men knowing.
"Driven by a violent, extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the Armed Forces to serve and protect our country. This is one of a number of recent plots targeting our military here at home," said Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security, in a news release. "The threat was averted by the combined efforts of the federal, state and local law enforcement officers that make up the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force."
The DOJ says the men initially planned to attack Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but later changed targets.
Abdul-Latif, 33, and Mujahidh, 32, are charged with conspiracy to murder officers and employees of the United States, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (grenades), and possession of firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence. Abdul-Latif is also charged with two counts of illegal possession of firearms....
