Mass. man set up by FBI to hit Pentagon and Capitol with drone aircraft

09-28-2011 • Washington Post

The FBI undercover agents provided Ferdaus with the money to buy the drones, but law enforcement officials said Ferdaus came up with the idea for the attack. Prosecutors said Ferdaus “was presented with multiple opportunities to back out of his plan, including being told that his attack would likely kill women and children,” but that he “never wavered in his desire to carry out the attacks.”

This was no set up or false flag op. Rezwan Ferdaus was given multiple opportunities by F.B.I. agents to back out in which he was told that innocent civilians could be at risk if he did what he did. Ferhaus still decided to go forward with his plot despite this fact.
