TERROR ATTACK AVERTED IN LOS ANGELES?

Was Attack on Israeli Consulate in LA Thwarted? - Greg Krikorian (Los Angeles Times)
Counterterrorism officials are investigating two men recently arrested in a string of robberies who may have been part of a local group of extremists with ties to prison or street gangs, law enforcement authorities said Thursday. Materials recovered at the South Los Angeles apartment of Levar Haney Washington, 25, suggest that an attack might have been planned at any of nearly two dozen addresses, including National Guard recruiting facilities, two synagogues, and a building believed to be the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles. Washington converted to Islam in prison, and his alleged accomplice, Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21, is believed to be a recent convert.
