FBI Prende Jovem Muçulmano Que Planejava Matar o Papa Francisco nos EUA

Um jovem de apenas 15 anos, inspirado pelo Estado Islâmico, foi preso pelo FBI por planejar matar o Papa Francisco que visitará o país este mês.

The FBI quietly arrested a 15-year-old boy outside of Philadelphia last month for allegedly threatening to launch an ISIS-inspired assault on Pope Francis while the world leader tours the United States next week, ABC News has learned.

The case, like so many others in recent months, highlights just how effective ISIS has become in using social media to radicalize Americans, particularly children.

“The minor was inspired by [ISIS] and sought to conduct a detailed homeland attack which included multiple attackers, firearms, and multiple explosives, targeting a foreign dignitary at a high-profile event,” according to a joint intelligence bulletin by the FBI and Department ofHomeland Security issued to law enforcement across the country on Aug 14.

The “foreign dignitary” mentioned in that bulletin is the Pope, who will finish his U.S. trip with two days of events in Philadelphia, sources told ABC News. In fact, the case is what the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Mike McCaul, was likely referring to Sunday when he disclosed that U.S. authorities “have disrupted one particular case” involving threats to attack the Pope, sources said.

“The minor obtained explosives instructions and further disseminated these instructions through social media,” according to the joint intelligence bulletin.

In addition, despite repeated threats from ISIS and other groups to target the Pope and the Vatican more broadly over the past year, there is no specific, credible threat to the Pope during his visit to the United States next week, law enforcement officials said Monday.

“The FBI is working closely with the United States Secret Service and our federal, state and local partners in advance of the papal visit to ensure the safety and security of all,” a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Philadelphia said in a statement. She would not comment on any specific cases or threats.

Meanwhile, the FBI-DHS intelligence bulletin noted that “several recent instances” –- including the case now tied to the Pope’s upcoming visit -– “demonstrate some youth are vulnerable to messaging from [ISIS] and its supporters.”

Their "innovative use of social media and messaging has played a key role in motivating young U.S.-based males and females to travel to join the self-declared Islamic State or allegedly attempt to conduct attacks in the Homeland on behalf of” ISIS, the bulletin said.

“These incidents also show that some U.S.-based youth are willing to connect over social media with like-minded persons, and have proven adept at obfuscating such social media usage from their parents and guardians,” the bulletin added.

Você imagina se um jovem muçulmano que, por inspiração do Estado Islâmico, conseguisse matar um Papa nos Estados Unidos.

Eu, como católico, rezo para que nunca ninguém consiga matar nenhum Papa, como já foi tentado por Ali Agca contra João Paulo II em 13 de maio de 1981.

Mas eu também fiquei pensando no que as teorias de conspiração diriam. Talvez que foi o governo dos Estados Unidos que mandou matar, ou que foi os conservadores americanos ou que foram os judeus, menos que foi um muçulmano terrorista.

Aliás, o Papa Francisco gosta de evitar seguranças e se mostrar próximo do povo, ele deveria tomar mais cuidado, a vida dele é muito importante para milhões de pessoas. Ele deveria lembrar disso. O Papa também gosta de dizer que o Islã é religião de paz, ele deveria fazer umas leituras do Alcorão e consultar que conhece de perto o Islã entre os clérigos.
