Man Pleads Guilty in Terror Plot Against Recruiting Station
A mentally ill petty thief pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges that he joined another man in planning to attack a Seattle military recruiting station with machine guns and grenades -- a plot inspired by the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood, authorities say.
"Why don't we all just go into there with guns blazing and just lay everybody down," Walli Mujahidh said in one conversation recorded by investigators. "Whoever gets laid down, gets laid down."
The Los Angeles man faces 27 to 32 years after pleading guilty to three charges: conspiracy to kill officers of the United States, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and unlawful possession of a firearm.
