Terrorist Caught Attempting To Bomb Abortion Clinic



A Christian terrorist recently brought a bomb to an abortion clinic, but the attack was prevented by a security guard. There has been little mainstream news coverage of the would-be bomber because he isn’t Muslim. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"A Kansas abortion clinic was evacuated Monday after a man brought in explosives and knives, CBS News reports.

The man, who wasn’t named in news reports, was taken into custody at South Wind Women’s Center after the staff called police. The clinic is the same one that murdered abortion doctor Dr. George Tiller worked in and has been the target of protests and violence by anti-abortion activists in the past.

Local KWCH reports the device was “active and set to go off.” The bomb was wrapped in a box sealed with tape. It was detonated off-site by the bomb squad.

Police said they are investigating the man’s intentions.

“He was very forthcoming about it, he wasn’t trying to hide it,” Witchita police Capt. Doug Nolte told KSN. “He was here to do some business with the clinic.””*
