Muslim Arrested for Plotting Terror Attack at Ariana Grande Concert

1

Police arrested a 22-year-old Muslim man for plotting an attack at an Ariana Concert in Costa Rica — but it’s the failure of authorities to release the suspect’s full name that’s almost the larger red flag.

First, the facts of the case.

Police arrested a suspect “with the last names Caicedo Lopez” on charges of plotting a terror attack at the concert. They identified and located the suspect after receiving a threat in the Arabic language.

From the Mail Online:

The suspect, with the last names Caicedo Lopez, a 22-year-old from Colombia, was held in a 6am raid on his flat in Tibas, near the capital San Jose, yesterday….

On May 22 a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured 119 more at a concert by the American singer in Manchester, and Costa Rican police feared a copycat attack was being planned.

The manhunt was lead by the Judicial Investigation Department (OIJ) and the raid was carried out by its Special Tactical Response Unit.

The director of the OIJ, Walter Espinoza, said: ‘The original threat was in the Arabic language and indicated that there could be a situation of danger or an attack at the concert. It was a very sensitive situation.’…

Caicedo Lopez was described as having no police record in Costa Rica. After being arrested he was handed over to state prosecutors.

But where was the suspect’s first name?

Ariana Grande performed for 14,000 fans as planned at the Parque Viva music venue.

Robert Spencer with Jihad Watch noticed the curious omission and wrote:

The establishment media and governing authorities all over the world do all they can to deny and downplay the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, so one has to read the tea leaves in order to understand what is going on.

“The suspect, with the last names Caicedo Lopez, a 22-year-old from Colombia, was held in a 6am raid on his flat in Tibas, near the capital San Jose, yesterday.”

Why was his surname revealed but his first name kept secret? …

The threat being in the Arabic language indicates that Caicedo Lopez is likely a convert to Islam, and that he was plotting a second jihad massacre at an Ariana Grande concert.
