The devout Muslim plotted an Islamic State plan to cause mass casualties in an attack on U.S. soil “10 times more” devastating than the Boston Marathon bombing, this one targeting buses, trains, and a train station in Kansas City on Monday, February 20. Robert Lorenzo Hester aka Ali Talib Muhammad is said to have approved of the destruction and harm and reaffirmed his commitment to the attack.

During the investigation, Ali Talib Muhammad said “that the U.S. government should be ‘overthrown,’ and suggested ‘hitting’ the government ‘hard,’ while noting that it would not be ‘a one man job,’ ” prosecutors said. Hester identified categories of potential targets for attack, such as oil production facilities and Wall Street, and said he wanted a “global jihad.”
