Dallas skyscraper bomb plot

I don't see this on CNN or MSNBC, but it's all over the news here in DFW tonight:

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local-bea...-61272512.html

The investigators talked with this guy in chat rooms in Arabic since last spring... today the guy drove what he believed was a vehicle full of explosives (actually disabled and inert) into the basement of a Dallas landmark skyscraper, and tried to detonate it remotely using a cell phone, within view of his handiwork.

They arrested him when he hit the 'send' button.

Bravo, FBI. Glad you got one of them!! Hat's off to you for some incredible investigative work.
