Jihad terror attack may have been thwarted but police are mum

In an exclusive Geller Report, evidence has emerged suggesting the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office and the Los Cerritos Shopping Center in California have agreed (aka conspired) to keep it on the down-low that a possible Islamic jihad attack may have been thwarted.

On July 7th, Steve Amundson, the founder of the Counter Jihad Coalition (CJC), an organization aimed at countering jihad on the streets, was at the mall with a pastor handing out literature about the religion of peace and the threat it poses to the West.

The CJC had permission to do so from the mall.

He experienced what may have been an attempted act of terror against their booth inside the mall.

As he passed out literature, an unidentified Muslim man wearing a backpack approached the pastor and, according to Amundson, the man became visibly angry and began arguing with the pastor who was seated at the table.

Before the Muslim left the table, Amundson said he saw him strategically place the backpack beneath the CJC booth and then walked away without the backpack.

Amundson immediately asked the pastor whether he knew the man and if he was watching the backpack for him. The pastor said "no," and Amundson quickly alerted mall security.

Mall security approached the man and asked him if the backpack was his and he admitted that it was, but then he refused to retrieve it.

Security spoke with the guy and he walked away with them and they carefully took the backpack.

For the past six months, Amundson and his colleagues have been physically assaulted and his booth attacked as well. He and his group have been trained to detect security threats, or "red flags," while doing their work. He said that he witnessed several red flags that day and alerted the Los Cerritos Shopping Center.

First red flag: two apparently Muslim men snapped photos in the mall of the CJC booth and made phone calls soon thereafter.

Next red flag: two apparently Muslim women approached the booth and began cursing at the CJC's booth operators, calling them liars. Mall security spoke with the women [possibly in Arabic] and while the women distracted security, a Muslim man walked over to the booth and slid his backpack under the table.

"I told security he left a backpack underneath our booth. The Muslim refused to take the backpack. We started to take cover behind cement pillars and told security to either call the bomb squad or have the guy pick up the backpack," Amundson said. "He finally agreed to very carefully pick it up and security escorted him away. Security will not say at least right now if he was arrested, if the bomb squad was called or what. Was this a dry run or the real thing?"

It isn't known whether or not mall security or the police had searched the man's backpack and the LA Sheriff's Office hasn't released a statement about the events.

So is Amundson correct? Was this a dry run?

This is not a new strategy. In October 2017, Vicente A. Solano was caught attempting to detonate a bomb in the food court at the Dolphin Mall in Miami, Florida. The bomb was placed inside a shopping bag. The man had been making ISIS videos, according to police, and was being monitored by the FBI before his arrest at the mall.

In the Amundson case, a police report has been filed and there is a photo of the Muslim man who placed the backpack beneath the CJC table.

Amundson applied to have another booth at the mall on July 21 but this time the application was rejected, based upon "our significant safety concern," the mall management said.

This is what's known as the terrorist's veto, and it's disgusting.

Geller explains that this is an ongoing investigation and more will follow. She has an excellent website that I highly recommend.
