In a cryptic news release, the Capitol Police said the person was arrested “in the area of the U.S. Capitol” but that “at no time was the public or congressional community in any danger.”

Snip

The statement said the arrest “was the culmination of a lengthy and extensive operation during which the individual was closely and carefully monitored.”

The statement did not provide other details, but a U.S. official said a man in his 30s and of Moroccan descent was picked up near the Labor Department on his way to the Capitol for what he thought would be a suicide attack. He was carrying with him a vest supposedly packed with explosives, but the material actually was not dangerous, officials said.

The man thought undercover FBI agents assisting him were members of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, officials said.

“We can confirm that there has been an arrest of a suspect in Washington, D.C. in connection with a terrorism investigation,” said Peter Carr, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Neil H. MacBride in Virginia, where the investigation is centered.

“The arrest was the culmination of an undercover operation during which the suspect was closely monitored by law enforcement,” Carr said in a statement. “Explosives the suspect allegedly sought to use in connection with the plot had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public. Additional information will be forthcoming at the appropriate time.”

The Moroccan man entered the United States with a family member, and at some point, he came to the attention of the FBI, said a law enforcement official.

I'm relieved that the public was not in danger. The congressional community... meh.

My fear is that this will be linked to Iran rather than just some lone nut.

Another WIN for Obama!

Apparently he's been in the US for 12 years. Based on that I don't see how they could link him to Iran.

It's a victory for America numbnuts. Would have been busted regardless of who was president.

Hey, i didn't say anything. I love Big Brother. What, do you think i feel differently? Because i don't. Big Brother is awesome and is always right. The Patriot Act and NDAA were the greatest things ever invented. We need more Big Brother Laws just like them. Lets hope Big Brother does that for us.

Why the sarcasm? It's really not necessary.
