Probably encouraged by fbi CI's
According to his son, that's exactly what happened.
In the past 24 years has the fbi ever caught a "terrorist" or "extremist" without putting them up to the action they were arrested for?
I would venture it's in the single digits if any.
Fbi SOP, find nut, send CI to approach nut. Have CI provide planning, equipment, etc to do "x" illegal thing. Arrest nut. Pretty easy creating your own investigation, much like dope investigations.
