An infantry soldier taken away from me with weapons and a bomb in a backpack would be admitted to Fort Hood plan another terrorist attack in less than two years, the army said Thursday. He could have managed to implement, said the police if a gun store clerk had not notified of any suspicious activity of man.
"I'd probably be here today, gives a press different if it had not been arrested," Killeen Police Chief Dennis Baldwin of.
The suspect 21-year-old Pfc. Abdo Nasser, was arrested Wednesday at a motel about three miles from the main entrance to Fort Hood. Voted against the 2009 murder of Fort Hood last year, when he made a public statement which was granted conscientious objector status to avoid serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.
As the soldier accused of killing 13 people in the shooting, Abdo is Muslim, but said in a paper obtained by The Associated Press ran the attacks on their beliefs and was "an act of aggression by a man and not Islam."
Abdo was approved as a conscientious objector, this year, but this was suspended after being charged with possession of child pornography. He was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Kentucky during the weekend of July 4.
3. July, tried to buy a gun to keep near the Kentucky-mail, the company that owns the shop. Abdo AP reporter said a week later, he was worried for his safety and was considering buying a gun for protection, but had not yet done.
Police said the break in Killeen, in the case came from weapons Galore LLC - the same gun shop, where most Nidal Hasan bought a gun used in the attack in 2009. Shop Secretary Greg Ebert said the man arrived in a taxi on Tuesday and bought six pounds of smokeless powder, three boxes of shotgun ammunition and a magazine for a semiautomatic pistol.
Ebert said he called the authorities because he and his colleagues "felt comfortable with his overall behavior and the fact he did not know what the hell, it was purchased. "
According to an alert army sent by e-mail obtained by The Associated Press has learned Killeen police the taxi company that Abdo had been picked up by a local motel and also visited a surplus store in the army, where he paid cash for a uniform patch bearing unit of Fort Hood.
Authorities found firearms and "elements that could be identified as components of the bombs, including gunpowder" in the motel room, Abdo, an FBI spokesman, said Erik Vasy.
The alert said Abdo Army "was in possession of a large quantity of ammunition, weapons and a bomb in a backpack," and in the interrogation admitted planning an attack on Fort Hood. Officials n 'have not provided details on a possible motive.
Baldwin, the chief of police, said Abdo "was dropped fairly quickly, without incident."
VASY said that the FBI would collect Abdo with possession of bomb-making components, and would be moved from Killeen police in a federal institution. VASY said there was nothing to suggest Abdo has worked with others.
A lawyer who represented the Oklahoma Abdo said Thursday he had not heard of Abdo in a few weeks.
"I am very eager to contact him," said the lawyer, James Branum.
AP was among the media to interview Abdo in the last year when they report on his application for objector status. Tuesday, July 12 Abdo contacted an AP reporter with whom he had spoken earlier, said he had gone away from me and considered buying a gun for personal protection. Abdo said he had not done so because he knew he wanted to give his name and other information for the dealer gun.
Abdo said he had received e-mails critical of his case for conscientious objector, and was concerned for his safety because of an increasing number of soldiers were returning to Fort Campbell, Afghanistan.
The AP describes the contents of that conversation Thursday that a spokesman for the Army civilians. The next day, when contacted by military investigators, the AP said Abdo did not know where and whenever the phone since he made his first call.
Article 32 military hearing last month, had recommended that Abdo by court martial in a military office that 34 images of child pornography was found on a computer he used.
In addition, the Division of Criminal Investigation with the military Joint Task Force investigated the federal terrorism Abdo soon after he was honored to unspecified anti-American comments while taking a language course, according to a U.S. official informed of the investigation.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said the military or the workforce has found nothing to indicate both Abdo was planning an attack, the official said.
FBI, police and soldiers said little about whether the way they were followed since leaving Fort Campbell Abdo. Patrick J. Connor, Special Agent in Charge of the Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Hood Army, said efforts were made to locate him after an arrest warrant was issued, but gave no further details.
Abdo was raised in Garland, a suburb of Dallas about 170 miles from Fort Hood. In his essay, which he sent to the AP last year, has made a conscientious objection-based, he said, his mother is a Christian and his father is Muslim, and who chose to follow Islam, when he was 17 years
"I did not know when I became a Muslim, I had to learn what Islam has meant to me and what I was willing to sacrifice for it," he writes.
He wrote that he joined the army to believe he could serve in the army and the honor of his religion, but he ended up having to bear the insults and threats from other soldiers about his religion during basic training. He said that life was better after his arrival on his first duty station, but he studied Islam more closely, as he approached the deployment of learning "to go to war was the Islamic right thing to do. "
"I began to understand and believe that only God can give legitimacy to war, not humanity," he wrote. "That's when I realized my conscience would not allow me to deploy."
His application was filed in June 2010. Army conscientious objector Review Board rejected his application, but the Assistant Secretary of the Agency Review Board Army recommended that it be separated from the military as a conscientious objector. The discharge was delayed when he was charged with possession of child pornography on May 13
Civilian spokesman for Fort Campbell, Bob Jenkins, said Abdo was not aware of an investigation into child pornography in November.
Abdo has lived for five years after his mother and sister in a duplex near the corner of Garland, Yawonna Wilson. Wilson said the family moved away about a year ago.
Shakira Doss, a neighbor who went to the same Dallas-area high schools Abdo, and was a friend of his sister, said he was not surprised by the news of the alleged plot, because the suspect looked "weird." When he visited Abdo two floors, Doss said to spend most of the time in his room.

Abdo tried to buy a shootout on July 3 in Quantico, a location near Fort Campbell in Oak Grove, Kentucky, said David Hensley, president of the chain of seven stores.
Abdo says Hensley went to the store twice a day. For the first time, when you ask questions, and departed. The second time he tried to buy a gun, says Hensley.
"He has shown a behavior that alerted our staff and our staff has been refused on the basis of this behavior, to sell him a gun," he said.
