Islamist terrorism in Los Angeles

Presto Pundit has the write-up on the story I heard covered this morning on my local KFI640 am radio, broken by Eric Leonard:

Two men recently arrested on suspicion of committing armed robberies in Torrance and Fullerton were Muslim converts who are now suspected of planning a variety of jihad-inspired terror attacks around Los Angeles, including one scheduled for September 11, 2005, KFI NEWS has learned.

Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21, and Levar Haney Washington, 25, planned to shoot up a military recruiting station in Santa Monica and at least one other civilian target, a high-ranking federal law enforcement source confirmed recently.

“The intent was to kill everyone at the target, including civilians,” the source said ..

I've posted about gangbangers before here and especially how too many local politicians like to keep a lid on any publicity concerning local gangs. They don't want the citizens alarmed.

Well, when it looks like the thug violence is now being channeled into jihadism and giving these creatures a chance to murder for Allah!, then not telling the citizens what is going on is inexcusable.

Hello? City councilpersons? Local police chiefs? Start being transparently honest with your citizenry. You owe them the truth about the oft-hidden machinations of gangbangers in your area.

Yesterday, please.
