Attorney General Denies 'Entrapment' Of Oregon Muslim Suspect

WASHINGTON (RNS) Attorney General Eric Holder defended the FBI's recent undercover investigation of an Oregon Muslim terror suspect, saying Friday (Dec. 10) that critics who think it was "entrapment" are wrong.

"Those who characterize the FBI's activities in this case as 'entrapment' simply do not have their facts straight -- or do not have a full understanding of the law," Holder said at the annual dinner of Muslim Advocates, a San Francisco-based civil liberties group.

Holder was referring to the Nov. 26 arrest of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who is charged with plotting to blow up a van full of explosives outside a crowded Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland.

"I make no apologies for how the FBI agents handled their work in executing the operation that led to Mr. Mohamud's arrest," he said. "Their efforts helped to identify a person who repeatedly expressed his desire and intention to kill innocent Americans."
