Feds: Maryland Muslim plotted jihad mass murder by ramming truck into crowds at National Harbor waterfront

The Justice Department said the jihadi harbored “hatred” for anyone who wasn’t Muslim. “ISIS inspired” tongue twisting for Islam.

Feds charge Maryland man accused of plotting to ram stolen truck into pedestrians

The man was allegedly inspired by ISIS.

Federal authorities have charged a Maryland man they believe was plotting to ram a stolen truck into pedestrians at the National Harbor waterfront development in Maryland, just outside the nation’s capital, the Justice Department announced Monday.

Rondell Henry, 28, of Germantown, Maryland, has been charged with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, but in court documents authorities allege a much more sinister intention.

According to authorities, Henry claimed to law enforcement that he was inspired by the Islamic State when he stole a U-Haul van looking to use it as a weapon.

Henry allegedly wanted to conduct an operation like the attack on pedestrians in Nice, France, in 2016, when a terrorist killed 86 people and wounded 450 others when he drove a 19-ton truck into a crowd celebrating a local holiday.


Police inspect the scene July 15, 2016, where a truck crashed into the crowd during the Bastille Day celebrations the night before in Nice, France.

The Justice Department said Henry harbored “hatred” for anyone who wasn’t Muslim, and he was allegedly inspired by watching terrorist propaganda videos.

“He was a computer engineer by trade, and knew nothing of explosives or firearms. But he knew how to drive, and he also knew of the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France. So the defendant decided to use what was readily at his disposal and conduct a vehicular attack on a crowd of innocents,” federal prosecutors said in court documents.

The case began two weeks ago, when police in Alexandria, Virginia, were notified that a leased U-Haul had been stolen from a mall parking garage, according to the Justice Department. Henry allegedly left his BMW at the garage when he stole the U-Haul, pointing police to him.

The next day, the stolen U-Haul was located at the National Harbor, and when law enforcement reviewed surveillance video of the area, they saw Henry driving the stolen U-Haul, the Justice Department said. Henry was arrested hours later, after allegedly hiding in a boat at the harbor.

Before driving to the harbor, however, Henry allegedly drive to Dulles International Airport and looked to launch an attack on “disbelievers” there, but he left the airport after he couldn’t get past the security perimeter, the Justice Department said.

As described by sources, the case did not involve a sting operation — it was a matter of federal, state and local law enforcement working together to stop someone in the nick of time.

It’s a stark reminder of how the terror threat continues to involve in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, with extremist groups all over the world calling on followers to launch attacks in their homeland — no matter how simple the attack might be.

Henry is scheduled to appear in federal court on Tuesday for a detention hearing.

“We continue to gather evidence, as well as review evidence already obtained as part of this ongoing investigation,” the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, Robert Hur, said in a statement.

That’s the BS they keep pushing in Cucknada: that the Toronto Danforth shooter who spent all his free time on ISIS websites and whose brother was a gangbanger, was NOT inspired by ISIS.

Maybe not. He was a Muslim convert, Rondell Henry, and being a white heterosexual male, there is a different standard. The punishment may be harsher for him. He must have gotten the wrong Islamic indoctrination.Why, he insulted true Islam with the thought of such an attack! (LOL) Wonder if they will question his Muslim friends or what ever mosque he attended. Maryland and Virginia are loaded with Muslims and it is close to D.C..

If he, especially being a white heterosexual male (the new bane of society) was incorporating the use of guns in his “jihad”, do you think there would have been a chance they may have let him proceed. “Saving” us from the extemists with guns has such a ring to it. I put nothing past them, and now that the “collusion” conspiracy has gone puff and congress has the house, a side-step into a renewed attack on the 2nd would a nice “distraction with benefits”.

Who knows!

The media is ignoring this… I went over to Jihad Watch and he had his picture and some more information. He looks middle eastern. I would not have pictured Rondell Henry to look like this. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/04/maryland-muslim-with-hatred-for-non-muslims-stole-u-haul-to-murder-pedestrians-in-vehicular-jihad-attack

I am hopeful that DEMS are turning people off with their insanity.

Unfortunately, not all jihadis are as stupid and mentally disabled as this one. There are thousands out there, all among us, who are having the same thoughts and are preparing to strike. The only solution is to intern them and then deport them back to whatever “Islamic Paradise” they came from.

And how was the murderer in Nice finally stopped? An armed cop shot him through the windshield since French citizens are not allowed to own guns.

Some armed self-respecting tourist could have easily stopped such an attack had it happened as this raghead sympathizer theorized.

Now you see why I carry concealed everywhere I go, especially to church.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

This plan along with the many that the islumists are involved with, will not make the Liberal statistics as these are not the “white nationalists” they keep lying about as the “biggest threat to America”. Liberals are dangerous to our survival.

I am sick and tired of people kicking the can down the road when it comes to Islam. “Oh but he was a radical extremist.” If anyone read the Quran they would know the religion itself CALLS FOR HOLY WAR ON ALL NON-ISLAMISTS. Oh but silly me, anyone who hates, dislikes, or is fundamentally opposed to Islam is an Islamophobe. The problem is a Phobia is an irrational fear where on this case my spite for Islam is educated. It is not fear I suffer from, I despise a faith practice that preaches total control and subjugation.

People who dare call a murdering, thieving pedophile a Prophet have a moral compass that points to Hell. If and only if we eliminated Islam we would be one HUGE step closer to world peace. Till then, keep an eye over your shoulder because our politicians import these murderers into our home land.
