KANSAS CITY -- Federal officials say they have arrested a Florida man and broken up a plot for a terror attack planned for a Sept. 11 memorial event in Kansas City.

CBS News' Jeff Pegues reports that the annual event is called the Kansas City Stair Climb and was set to take place on Sunday to honor the Sept. 11 attacks.

Investigators say they have arrested Joshua Ryne Goldberg, 20, of Orange Park, Florida for distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction.

The guy used anti-Muslim slurs in his rants, so he's not "ISIS-inspired."

1. No anti-muslim stratements that I saw, however...

"I haven't made one before, but I've studied how to make them," AusWitness said in one piece of dialogue quoted in the complaint. "Get FAR away from the bomb, brother. There's going to be chaos when it goes off. Shrapnel, blood and panicking kuffar will be everywhere." (Kuffar is a derogatory term used to describe non-Muslims).

If you read that CNN story, its just plain weird.

4. In the original CBS story, the term for non-Muslims was a term for Muslims.

Didn't actually say the word, but said it was a derogatory term for Muslims.

Since then it's been changed to derogatory term for NON-Muslims.

Uncle Walter, where are you?

2. Uh-huh.

3. FBI says 'Australian IS jihadist' is actually a Jewish American troll named Joshua Ryne Goldberg

A young Jewish American man has been charged with pretending to be an Australian-based Islamic State jihadist after a FBI joint investigation with the Australian Federal Police based on information provided by Fairfax Media.

Joshua Ryne Goldberg, a 20-year old living at his parents' house in US state of Florida, is accused of posing online as "Australi Witness," an IS supporter who publicly called for a series of attacks against individuals and events in western countries.

In recent days Australi Witness has claimed online that he is working with other jihadists to plan attacks in Australia and the United States. He distributed pictures of a bomb that he was working on with "2 lbs of explosives inside".

5. What the heck does this troll get out of this?

Let's see, 20-year old no doubt living in parents' basement.

Probably unemployed.

Bored and so he decides to "have fun" by pretending to be a jihadist.

6. It always funny until the Feds arrive at your door.

Looks like he'll serve as an example to other internet trolls. There are certain things you don't joke about.
