Booker pleaded guilty last winter in a deal that would result in 30 years in prison. He had a co-conspirator in his notorious plot, well, he had one co-conspirator who wasn’t an FBI informant anyway – Andrew Blair. Blair pleaded guilty yesterday according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n According to prosecutors, Blair lent John T. Booker $100 to pay for storage of a bomb that Booker planned to detonate in April 2015 outside of the Fort Riley military post, which is about 60 miles west of Topeka. Booker planned the IS-inspired attack with two contacts who were actually confidential FBI informants, and when he tried arming the bomb, which was fake, FBI agents arrested him.<\/p>\n Prosecutors say Blair and Booker met at a Topeka mosque in January 2015 and that they shared similar views about waging jihad against the U.S. military.<\/p>\n During the hearing, Blair conceded that he believed Booker was working on behalf of the Islamic State and meant to kill as many soldiers as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Blair is looking at five years for not reporting Booker’s plans to authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About a year ago, we talked about John T Booker, who plotted to detonate a bomb at Fort Riley, Kansas. originally, Booker had planned to join the Army and initiate a “blue on blue” attack when the opportunity presnted itself, but he was thwarted by a recruiter who thought he was just a little too […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Alexander-E.-Blair.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4ozh1-ha3","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/65972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
