FBI: Man planned Christmas terror attack for SF's Pier 39

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --

Officials have stopped a man who reportedly stated that "Christmas was the perfect day" for a terror attack in San Francisco and "did not need an escape plan because he was ready to die."

We've learned the FBI has arrested a man by the name of Everitt Aaron Jameson from Modesto. They say he wanted to target Pier 39.

According to FBI documents, Jameson picked out that location because he "had been there before and knew it was a heavily crowded area." He added that it would be easy to "funnel" people into an area where he could inflict casualties.

The documents also say Jameson was posting and liking pro-ISIS and pro-terrorism content on Facebook.

And according to the documents, the suspect was discharged from the Marine Corps. He had prior military experience with a "sharpshooter" rifle qualification and expertise with rifle marksmanship.

Officials say Jameson was talking to an undercover FBI agent. They add that he was arrested earlier this week and a search warrant was executed at his Modesto home. Several firearms were found, along with fireworks.

ABC7 News contacted officials at Pier 39 to ask for a response, they say they did not know about this plot.

The amount of hatred inside of people to do something like this is inconceivable to me.  So sad. :(   Nice job Feds.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – The FBI announced Friday the arrest of a former U.S. Marine suspected of offering to carry out a terrorist attack on Christmas Day in San Francisco at the Pier 39 tourist attraction.

26-year-old Everitt Aaron Jameson was arrested at his home in Modesto on Wednesday morning.

According to the criminal complaint, Jameson “has espoused radical jihadi beliefs, including authoring social media posts that are supportive of terrorism, communicating with people he believes share his jihadi views and offering to provide services to such people …”

Jameson allegedly detailed his plans for the terror attack with an undercover FBI agent, which were to set off explosives remotely in one area of Pier 39 and then mow down people with an automatic rifle as they fled.

From the FBI complaint:

Jameson specifically named Pier 39 in San Francisco as a target location because he had been there before and knew that it was a heavily crowded area, and that, according to Jameson, no reconnaissance or site survey would be necessary (because Jameson already was familiar with the area). Jameson explained that he also desired to use explosives, and described a plan in which explosives could “tunnel” or “funnel” people into a location where Jameson could inflict casualties.
The complaint said Jameson suggested to the undercover agent that Christmas Day would be a “perfect day” for an attack. Jameson also told the agent “he did not have and did not need an escape plan because he was ready to die.”

The plot seemed to unravel earlier this week. Jameson told the agent that he had second thoughts about carrying out his plan, but agents had enough evidence to search his Modesto home, according to the complaint.

During the search, FBI agents interviewed Jameson, who observed,

At periodic times during that interview Jameson state his support of ISIS and terrorism and discussed aspects of the plan to carry out an attack, noting that he would be happy if an attack was carried out.
Agents said a suicide note written by Jameson was also found at the home, which denounced this week’s announcement by President Donald Trump that the U.S. would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Rifles, a handgun and ammunition were also found during the search of his home.

Jameson graduated from basic recruit training in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2009 and earning the “sharpshooter” rifle qualification. He was later discharged for “fraudulent enlistment” after he failed to disclose a latent asthma history, according to the complaint.

Recently, Jameson was a tow truck driver in Modesto. The Islamic Center of Merced told KPIX 5 he was a recent convert to Islam.

As of Friday afternoon, Jameson remained in federal custody.

As the President keeps slamming the @FBI, THIS is the bureau I know - protecting our nation every day with bravery and integrity, and worthy of our respect and thanks.

Unreal. Simply unreal....
I know, I couldn't believe what Trump said this last week about the FBI either:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-calls-conduct-at-fbi-disgraceful-before-appearing-at-quantico/2017/12/15/4f4a4fae-e1a7-11e7-bbd0-9dfb2e37492a_story.html?utm_term=.ea800f96e5a7

Trump calls conduct at the FBI ‘disgraceful’ in latest criticism of bureau

QUANTICO, Va. — President Trump said Friday there is tremendous anger over what he called the FBI’s “disgraceful” behavior, taking aim at the bureau just before he appeared at its training facility to praise the nation’s police officers.

“It’s a shame what’s happened with the FBI,” the president told reporters as he prepared to depart the White House for a ceremony at the FBI’s National Academy in Quantico, where more than 200 law enforcement officers graduated from a program that imparts FBI expertise and standards.

“We’re going to rebuild the FBI,” Trump said. “It’ll be bigger and better than ever. But it is very sad when you look at those documents, and how they’ve done that is really, really disgraceful, and you have a lot of very angry people that are seeing it.”
