I wonder if it's the same informant who targeted the 17 year old mentally-challenged Chicago high school student and lured him into a plot to blow up Wrigley Field.
Usually the informants in AQAP/ISIS cases are Lebanese immigrants with legal problems. They are paid handsome commissions to ensnare people who otherwise would have nothing to do with these organizations as well as the vulnerable. See, the Liberty City 7 case.
> The FBI's complaint alleges that 20-year-old Chicago man Thomas Osadzinski designed a custom Python script to enable other ISIS supporters to archive propaganda in an organized manner with the goal of spreading it online.
that sounds like a big crime /s
