SEATTLE — A man who helped plot an attack with machine guns and grenades on a Seattle military complex was sentenced in federal court Monday to 17 years in prison, the US attorney’s office said.
Walli Mujahidh, 34, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty in December to conspiracy to kill officers of the United States, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
‘‘This defendant was a cold-hearted, enthusiastic partner in this murderous scheme....
A codefendant, Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, 35, of Seattle, was sentenced last month to 18 years in prison....

"Abdul-Latif, 33, has a criminal record and a troubled family past, but allegations that he plotted a terrorist attack surprised those who knew him. He appears to have posted several videos on YouTube expressing sympathy for al-Qaida's leader in Yemen and excitement about a radical interpretation of Islam."
Man, he smells like a "CIA-Duh" patsy to me.

What's with the aliases?
Law enforcement was alerted to the plot by a person who was approached by Abdul-Latif about supplying guns and who acted as an informant.
The conspirators were recorded on audio and video discussing an assault on the Military Entrance Processing Station in south Seattle where the military processes enlistees.
In the recordings, the men discuss how they wanted to gun down people in revenge for atrocities by US soldiers in Afghanistan, prosecutors said.
Making those atrocities not as bad, damn, almost legitimate. And who benefits?
The men were arrested in June 2011 when they tried to pick up three machine guns. The weapons had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement.
They do the same when they outfit patsy plotters with bombs.
