A source told CBS News that the man detained in the discovery of a
suspicious vehicle outside the Pentagon Friday morning has been identified
as a lance corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
Lance Cpl. Yonathan Melaku told authorities during questioning Friday
morning that he was carrying explosive materials, the source told CBS News
investigative producer Pat Milton.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that Melaku is a
naturalized U.S. citizen from Ethiopia. Bomb-sniffing dogs have been sent
to his home in Fairfax County, Va.
Previously, FBI Special Agent Brenda Heck, who heads the bureau's
counterterrorism division in its Washington field office, told reporters
that a non-explosive material was found in a backpack the suspect was
carrying at the time of his arrest.
A law enforcement official speaking on the condition of anonymity said
officials found what appeared to be an unknown quantity of ammonium
nitrate. The official,
said nothing else was found that would have enabled an explosion. The
official said tests were being done to determine the substance and the
exact concentration.
Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound that is widely used in fertilizers
and can be used in explosives with the correct concentration.
A law enforcement source told Milton that the suspect now identified as
Melaku was carrying a notebook that contained the phrases "al Qaeda,"
"Taliban rules" and "Mujahid defeated croatian forces" when he was
detained.

Office)
Despite the references to the terror organization that organized the 9/11
attacks, the group fighting U.S. forces in Afghanistan and the Arabic word
for "holy warrior," the law enforcement source told Milton that the
suspect is not thought to have been involved in a terrorist act or plot.
"It seems to be washing out at this point, but it is still being drilled
down on," the law enforcement source told Milton.

The law enforcement source said the backpack also contained 20 spent 9 mm
shell casings and three cans of black spray paint.
The suspect was being held by the U.S. Park Police. No charges have been
filed against him.
"This is all very unfolding and a continuing investigation," Heck told
reporters.
CBS News affiliate WUSA-TV in Washington reports that Melaku appears to
have an extensive criminal record in the capital area. In Loudoun County,
Va., Melaku has four pending cases for grand larceny stemming from a rash
of vehicle break-ins.
The suspect was detained after the U.S. Park Police came across him in
early Friday morning in Arlington National Cemetery, when it is closed,
triggering an investigation. The Park Police then launched a search for a
vehicle, which was found near the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., just outside
of Washington, D.C., Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said.
The 2011 red Nissan prompted the Arlington County Fire Department's bomb
disposal unit to follow protocols, including the use of a water cannon, to
render the vehicle safe, Arlington Police spokeswoman Cpl. Crystal Nosal
told reporters.
Heck said no suspicious items were found in the vehicle.
Pentagon police spokesman Chris Layman said the car was in bushes near the
Pentagon's north parking lot.
Previously, the suspect was reported to have been suspected of planting
suspicious devices in the Arlington area, at the national cemetery, the
Pentagon and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo
Jima Memorial. Schlosser did not confirm that report.
CBS News reports that the Marine Corps Memorial is open to the public.
Arlington National Cemetery was briefly closed but has since reopened.
Matthew Chandler, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security,
told CBS News that federal agencies were involved with the investigation.
"DHS is monitoring a suspicious vehicle incident causing road closures
around the Pentagon," Chandler said. "This is a law enforcement matter at
this time, with the U.S. Park Police and the Arlington County Police
Department as leads and other federal agencies on the scene."
In another incident earlier this week, a motorist found with a gun and
what appeared to be a suspicious package near the Pentagon was taken into
custody.

Apparently, the military has learned nothing from the Fort Hood
shootings. How many dozens of dead soldiers will it take for them to
identify this obvious threat as "real."

Read further down and you see that the "suspect" has a long criminal
history that should have gotten him thrown out of the military with a
dishonorable discharge.

Sounds like another Fort Hood shooting was nipped in the bud. Why
does the military allow potential terrorists from Axis of Evil nations
to enlist?
