Federal law enforcement authorities arrested a Northern Virginia man Wednesday in connection with an alleged plot to carry out terrorist bombings at stations in the Washington Metro system.

Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn conspired with people he thought to be al-Qaeda operatives to bomb the Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon City, Crystal City and Court House stations, according to a federal indictment.

An Obama administration official said Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, first drew the attention of law enforcement officials by seeking to obtain unspecified materials. He later became the target of an undercover sting, officials said.

Have they determined his motivation yet? Isolated individual? Did he work for the Post Office? Was he angry about the recent fare increase? It could happen to anyone of us. Good thing the police are watching us all.

You never know when someone is going to freak out and get violent like that. Especially the Vets. That's why Janet Napolitano keeps a close eye on Vets. They could lose it at any time without warning. I mean -- they work with animals all day, there's no telling what they're capable of.

Watch out for them. They're planning to take over the House of Representatives on November 2nd.

(Disregard, I'm informed that's the GOP and they're unstoppable.)

November is "Xeno Awareness" month.
