Suspected Florida mosque bomber killed in Oklahoma shootout.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42905992/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/

FAIRVIEW, Okla. — A man wanted in the bombing of a Florida mosque was shot and killed Wednesday when he brandished a weapon as agents tried to serve an arrest warrant in northwest Oklahoma, FBI officials said.

Sandlin Matthews Smith, 46, of St. Johns County, Fla., pulled out a firearm as federal and state law enforcement officers approached him in a field at Glass Mountain State Park near Orienta and asked him to surrender, said FBI Special Agent Jeff Wescott of Jacksonville, Fla.

Smith was facing several federal charges, including damage to religious property and possession of a destructive device, in connection with the May 10, 2010, bombing of the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida in Jacksonville. No one was hurt in that explosion, but authorities found remnants of a crude pipe bomb at the scene, and shrapnel from the blast was found a hundred yards away.

2. It seems like there's an endless supply of crazies anymore. And particularly
concerning are those that are elected into office.

9. This terrorist tried to place the bomb inside the mosque which had 60-70
members inside the prayer room. The only thing deterring him was a set of locked double doors, so he quickly placed the bomb next to the building's wall and ran like the coward that he was. They got it all on video, only it was grainy but they had it analyzed.
