Story from Jan. 2012
1/9/12, "Muslim man charged in attempted Florida car bombing," Reuters
"The press release described events leading up to the arrest: Osmakac met again with the source in November, discussed potential targets for attack in Tampa, and asked for help in obtaining firearms and explosives. The source set up the first of a series of meetings between Osmakac and an undercover FBI agent, all of which were recorded.
Osmakac identified his targets as several nightclubs in Ybor City, Tampa's historic Cuban community and a popular tourist district; and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's operations center.
Osmakac's shopping list, for which he provided the undercover agent a $500 down payment, included the explosive belt which he specified should be constructed to "rip flesh."
He asked for enough explosives for three car bombs with cell phone triggers, but settled for one car bomb when the agent told him a bigger purchase would draw attention. He also requested an AK-47-style machine gun, Uzi submachine guns, high capacity magazines, and grenades."...via Atlas Shrugs
