According to the criminal complaint, Sibley confessed and: “Stated he is a ‘patriot’ and he felt no one was paying attention to what was going on the world. Sibley felt if he placed the package in a Roswell park then people would finally get that this type of activity could happen anywhere.”

With the Qur’an included with the incomplete bombs, it appears he was also trying to keep the manufactured fear of everything Muslim from dissipating. There was also a list of so called “soft” targets like hospitals, schools, unguarded locations, and even a Jewish center in Atlanta. Who needs terrorists to complete an attack on United States soil when we have plenty of home grown terrorists citizens willing to do it? All under the guise of raising awareness of attacks occurring anywhere.
