TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A second man is facing a criminal charge in connection with what authorities say was a plot to plant a bomb near Kansas military base to help the Islamic State group.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Friday that 28-year-old Alexander E. Blair, of Topeka, is charged with one count of failing to report a felony.
A criminal complaint filed Friday alleges Blair knew about a plot by 20-year-old Topeka resident John T. Booker Jr. to detonate a bomb at Fort Riley.
Booker was arrested Friday while trying to arm what he thought was 1,000-pound bomb outside the Army post. He faces three charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The complaint said federal agents interviewed Blair immediately after Booker's arrest.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A man charged Friday with plotting a suicide bomb attack on a Kansas military base to help the Islamic State group is mentally ill and was acting strangely only days before his arrest, according to a Muslim cleric who said he was counseling him at the request of the FBI.
John T. Booker Jr., 20, of Topeka, is accused of planning a suicide attack at Fort Riley, about 70 miles west of Topeka. Prosecutors allege he told an FBI informant he wanted to kill Americans and engage in violent jihad on behalf of the terrorist group, and said he believed such an attack was justified because the Quran "says to kill your enemies wherever they are," according to a criminal complaint.
Authorities arrested Booker on Friday as he was trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000 pound bomb outside the Army post, according to prosecutors. The criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Topeka charges him with three crimes, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The top federal prosecutor for Kansas also charged another Topeka man, Alexander E. Blair, 28, with failing to report Booker's plans to authorities. The complaint alleges that Blair and Booker shared some "extremist views" and that Blair loaned Booker money to rent space to build and store a bomb.
Imam Omar Hazim of the Islamic Center of Topeka told The Associated Press that two FBI agents brought Booker to him early in 2014 for counseling, hoping to turn the young man away from radical beliefs. Hazim said the agents told him that Booker suffered from bipolar disorder, characterized by unusual mood swings that can affect functioning.
Hazim said he expressed concerns to the FBI about allowing him to move freely in the community after their first encounter.
Hazim said he later heard that two others were involved in a bombing plot with Booker. He said the FBI told him they were undercover FBI agents and that the sting was arranged to get Booker "off the streets."
"I think the two FBI agents set him up, because they felt at that point someone else might have done the same thing and put a real bomb in his hands," Hazim said.
He said he has come to the conclusion that the sting was the right thing to do. He said Booker admitted to him on Tuesday that he had stopped taking his medication because he didn't like the way it made him feel and it was expensive.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Kansas declined to comment on Hazim's remarks.
The soft-spoken Booker made his first court appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Topeka, answering basic questions and correcting the spelling of his alias, Muhammad Abdullah Hassan. Booker was ordered to remain jailed. A grand jury is expected to consider the case next week.
Booker's public defender, Kirk Redmond, declined comment following the hearing. Blair's attorney, Christopher Joseph, said he met with his client only briefly Friday. Blair has a hearing Thursday on whether he should remain in federal custody.
Booker was recruited to join the Army in February 2014, but came to the attention of federal investigators after posting a Facebook message on March 19, 2014, that read: "Getting ready to be killed in jihad is a HUGE adrenaline rush! I am so nervous. NOT because I'm scared to die but I am eager to meet my lord," according to the criminal complaint against him. His military enlistment was terminated days later, according to the Army.
His father, John T. Booker Sr., told the AP that his son moved out about two years ago after graduating from high school. The elder Booker, an Army veteran who served in Desert Storm, said he and his son had talked only about four times in the past year.
He said he is Methodist and his wife is Catholic, and that he knew nothing about his son's religious beliefs.
"I did everything that a father should do: I took him to school, I took him to doctor's appointments, I made sure he graduated. But once kids turn 18 and graduate, parents have no control over them," the father said as he placed a no-trespassing sign in front of his Topeka home

2 Women Arrested in New York for ISIS-Inspired Terror Plot
the two women have been researching and acquiring materials to make homemade explosive devices. Most recently, the investigation revealed that one of them had a propane tank and instructions from a jihadist website for how to turn the tank into a bomb.

Akphi is a spoon fed liberal. Then laughs at others and accuses them for not being able to think for themselves. No problem, he can only follow, not lead.
What would you expect from a "Native" american who is taking handouts from the government...throw on top the living in Alaska angle and this guy probably makes his living on government cheese.

Yup, just another example of the liberal mantra of trying to silence the opposition. They brag about being compassionate, listening till all sides and opinions...until it doesn't match their opinions then they call them "threats...domestic terrorists..." etc. If I actually could be a liberal and look from the outside in as to what my party is all about, and the type of politics they support, I may just consider ending it all. Sad the state of the democratic party..having to lie and steal to earn votes because the truth of their agenda just doesn't work.
