Folsom Prison Plot

The local ABC affiliate is reporting on a foiled prison jihadist plot to conduct terror attacks in Southern California on the coming anniversary of 9/11. The targets, in Santa Monica, California, were to be a number of local synagogues in addition to a military recruitment center.

The plot, which called for dozens of casualties as part of a holy war against the United States, was foiled after Levar Washington, a former inmate at the Folsom Prison, and his accomplice were arrested for a string of gas station robberies.

The prison "cell" was apparently masterminded by two inmates who remain in state custody, and have since been transferred to "special confinement." (Coincidentally, this is the second Santa Monica terrorism story this week.)
