Breaking: AWOL Soldier Arrested in Possible Plot to Attack Fort Hood, Texas (Update: Video added)

Fox is reporting that one soldier is under arrest, and two more are sought in a possible plot to attack Fort Hood, Texas.

At least one U.S. military serviceman has been arrested after raising concerns over another possible attack on Fort Hood, Fox News has learned exclusively.

Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there. Authorities, however, will not say if Abdo is the one who raised security concerns.

Bob Jenkins, a Fort Campbell spokesman, told Fox News that Abdo was being investigated for child pornography found on his government computer.

Abdo went AWOL on July 4. On the eve of his first deployment to Afghanistan — after only one year in the Army — Abdo applied for conscientious objector status. It was denied by his superiors at Ft. Campbell but later overturned by the Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Army review board.

Another source told Fox News that two other U.S. soldiers also raised possible concerns. Authorities have recovered weapons and possibly explosive materials, Fox News was told.

It remains unclear if any possible plot to attack Ft. Hood was merely aspirational in nature.

Fort Hood is the United States’ largest active duty armored installation, and was attacked by Maj Nidal Hassan in November 2009. Hassan is set to stand trial for the murder of 13 and wounding of 30 when he opened fire on the base, shouting “Allahu ackbar.”

Update: A commenter spotted this video, of Abdo being interviewed as a “conscientious objector” on CNN.

Abdo talks quite a bit about his religion in the clip, but the Army began investigating him when child porn turned up on his government-issued computer.

    Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo?!

    If this person was the security threat and there are weapons involved then I guess he was not a concientious objector. Just on the other side.

    Things liek this if true need to have Treason attached not just murder/assult or whatever the also do. Thats takign up arms against your country and if a soldier against somethign you have sworn to defend.

    why does this dude have such a heavy accent??? he is definitely an infiltrator.. also I would bet doughnuts to dollars that the porn on the computer was of little boys.. these muslims are homosexual pedophiles.. why do you think they treat their women like crap?? they use the women to make more little boys… fact….the us shouldn’t allow muslims in our armed forces .. PERIOD.. talk about suicidal political correctness.. it’s insanity..

    • if we shouldnt allow people of other faiths to serve, then we shouldnt allow priests in church–talk about homosexual pedophiles! They are the worst!–And the only punishment THEY get is being moved to a new parish, really, just handing them keys to a new candy store!

      • snork

        Show me the priests with bombs and guns.

        • Snork, true- but I was just addressing the pedophile thing. Its all a big mess my friend,but just cuz the priests dont use bombs doesnt make it any better. Pedophiles are some sick evil,demonic, bastards.And if the US would stop interfering in other peoples affairs all the time,raping,pillaging, and plundering THEIR resources—I bet these attacks(or planned attacks) would cease..If someone kept coming to YOUR house,killing YOUR family,stealing YOUR stuff–before too long YOU would do whatever you could to stop it too!–or at least try to send a message. GOD help the USA. And its NOT about defense!! if you really investigate deeply, you will see that the majority of wars waged in the last 100 yrs or so have had NOTHING to do with defense-rather they’ve been about conquest and resources–defense of “freedom” has been just a cover for wrongdoing for oh so many years–and the people-for the most part-buy it!–If you tell them red,red,red,long enough, they will believe its red-no matter what color it really is!

        No, priests are not the worst. The worst would be public school teachers.

        • Anyone who abuses children–in ANY way– should be dealt with SEVERELY,no matter who they are, and that INCLUDES the pedophiles in Washington too!

    Peaceful? Tolerant? Non-violent? What could possibly be more violent than a man raping a child?!?

  5. 6. BobH

    Last year he was touted as a “Muslim peacemaker” (God save us from Muslim peacemakers!)

    • Rob Crawford

      You sure they didn’t say he was a “cheese maker”?

    “Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo”

    Obviously a white-nationalist neo-Templar.
