Baltimore Convert To Islam Charged In Terror Plot Against Military Recruiting Center

The Washington Times reports that "Federal authorities on Wednesday charged a 21-year-old Baltimore man with participating in what he believed was a plot to detonate a car bomb outside a military recruiting center in Catonsville, Md. Antonio Martinez, who also goes by the name Muhammad Hussain and is identified in court papers as a 'recent convert to Islam,' was charged with attempted murder of federal officers/employees and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against U.S. property."

The Associated Press writes that the "21-year-old construction worker who had recently converted to Islam and told an FBI informant he thought about nothing but jihad... The bomb he is accused of trying to detonate was fake and had been provided by an undercover FBI agent. It was loaded into an SUV that Martinez parked in front of the recruiting center, authorities said, and an FBI informant picked him up and drove him to a nearby vantage point where he tried to set it off."
