"The key thing to remember here is, is we are not targeting anybody innocent — that means old people, women out of uniform, any children," Abdul-Latif is quoted as saying. "Just people who wear the green for the kaffir Army, that's who we're going after."

 

The agent wrote that they also fantasized about the headlines the attack would generate — "Three Muslim Males Walk Into MEPS Building, Seattle, Washington, And Gun Down Everybody" — and speculated that if they got control of the building, television news crews would arrive to cover them.

 

Mujahidh, 32, voluntarily spoke with investigators after the arrests and confessed, the complaint said.

 

"Mujahidh admitted that he was planning on carrying out an attack at the MEPS for the purpose of killing United States military personnel in order to prevent them from going to Islamic lands and killing Muslims," the complaint said.
