I wonder who he was? Or if he was part of the Nation of Islam/5 Percent nation as well?

Teen Arrested for Planning Alleged ISIS-Inspired Attack on Pope

The FBI quietly arrested a 15-year-old boy outside of Philadelphia last month for allegedly threatening to launch an ISIS-inspired assault on Pope Francis while the world leader tours the United States next week, ABC News has learned.

The case, like so many others in recent months, highlights just how effective ISIS has become in using social media to radicalize Americans, particularly children.

“The minor was inspired by [ISIS] and sought to conduct a detailed homeland attack which included multiple attackers, firearms, and multiple explosives, targeting a foreign dignitary at a high-profile event,” according to a joint intelligence bulletin by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued to law enforcement across the country on Aug 14.

The “foreign dignitary” mentioned in that bulletin is the Pope, who will finish his U.S. trip with two days of events in Philadelphia, sources told ABC News. In fact, the case is what the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Mike McCaul, was likely referring to Sunday when he disclosed that U.S. authorities “have disrupted one particular case” involving threats to attack the Pope, sources said.

“The minor obtained explosives instructions and further disseminated these instructions through social media,” according to the joint intelligence bulletin.

The boy has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization and attempting to provide material support to terrorist activity, the bulletin added.

But sources familiar with the case emphasized that any threat from him was not imminent, and that the boy's plans were "aspirational." Additionally, the sources said, there are questions about the boy's mental health.

In addition, despite repeated threats from ISIS and other groups to target the Pope and the Vatican more broadly over the past year, there is no specific, credible threat to the Pope during his visit to the United States next week, law enforcement officials said Monday.

“The FBI is working closely with the United States Secret Service and our federal, state and local partners in advance of the papal visit to ensure the safety and security of all,” a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Philadelphia said in a statement. She would not comment on any specific cases or threats.

Meanwhile, the FBI-DHS intelligence bulletin noted that “several recent instances” –- including the case now tied to the Pope’s upcoming visit -– “demonstrate some youth are vulnerable to messaging from [ISIS] and its supporters.”

Their "innovative use of social media and messaging has played a key role in motivating young U.S.-based males and females to travel to join the self-declared Islamic State or allegedly attempt to conduct attacks in the Homeland on behalf of” ISIS, the bulletin said.

“These incidents also show that some U.S.-based youth are willing to connect over social media with like-minded persons, and have proven adept at obfuscating such social media usage from their parents and guardians,” the bulletin added.

It's scary the number of crazies who seem to have come out of the woodwork in this country just in the last few years.

Yes and how a lot of them seem to be very young either teenagers, or young adults.

It's a given fact that kids these days suffer from things pretty much unheard of decades ago. I remember when no one had ever heard of someone with a "nut allergy", and autistic kids were certainly not a dime a dozen as they seem to be these days.

I grew up with someone who is allergic to peanuts but he was one person out of almost 1,000 people I graduated highschool with; but now it's apparently so widespread that whenever a kid has a birthday in elementary school they, or the teacher is not allowed to bring in treats for everyone in the classroom.

I think a lot of these peanut allergies are figments of parent's imaginations. Usually the mother.

The guy I grew up with who is allergic to peanuts really was allergic to them and would stop breathing if he ate them. I saw this first hand when we were in a mall and we both ate some candy that was being given out near a candy store as a sample, I was fine but he had to have a shot so he could keep breathing. I have not been around anyone who has a peanut allergy since knowing him decades ago.

Why do you claim this? Because he's Socialist? Or because he did nothing about the imprisonment, torture, and murder of people in Argentina during the dirty war?

Spirituality has nothing to do with politicial power or central banker enrichment, which are the things that interest the present Popess.

The only true religia that is left is the Orthodox Catholic one, and the USA/EU master criminals are out to destroy that as well, just as they destroyed the Roman Catholic church.

So does this mean you are going to convert to being Eastern Orthodox Catholic church?

The Greek Orthodox must have a church there. Greeks are also more tolerant of buggery and sodomy. Right up your alley.

They are there. You just have to look for them, and actually go to them.
