A 67-year-old Marietta, Georgia man is accused of planting a backpack containing two pipe bombs in an Atlanta-area public park in order to frighten the public and sow fear of Islamic terrorism.
According to Atlantas Channel 2 News, conservative patriot Michael Sibley confessed to police that he was trying to educate people that terror strikes can happen anywhere and without warning when he planted the bombs last November.
The backpack contained two partially-constructed pipe bombs, a Koran and a list of soft targets for terrorist attacks i.e., non-military, unguarded structures like hospitals and schools. Among the list of potential targets was an Atlanta Jewish center.
Channel 2 quoted Sibleys arrest report, which reported that he (s)tated that he is a patriot and he felt no one was paying attention to what was going on the world. Sibley felt if he placed the package in a Roswell park then people would finally get that this type of activity could happen anywhere.

(961 posts)to show how violent Muslims are, the good Christian committed an act of terrorism and then tried to FRAME another entire group of people. I don't think that's how it works.
Faux news will run this as a feel good piece. "Up next, a Georgia Grandfather tries to teach a lesson and gets arrested. Thanks, Obama!"
