U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan talks to Dori about a terror plot aimed at a military recruiting office in Seattle.

---

A Seattle man accused of plotting to attack a military recruiting station had filed for bankruptcy in May, but Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif was still able to buy weapons.

"He stated that the money was being held by someone for him. He was saving up for religious travel," U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan told 97.3 KIRO FM's Dori Monson Show.

According to charging documents, on June 16 and 17, Abdul-Latif gave an undercover FBI source $800 to pay for rifles he and Walli Mujahidh, a.k.a. Frederick Domingue planned to use during the attack.

Abdul-Latif said he set the money aside for the hajjand that another person was holding it for him. Abdul-Latif and the source traveled to that person's place of business to retrieve Abdul-Latif's money.

So was someone funding the attack?

"The investigators will look at all avenues, but I want the public to be confident that we think we have apprehended and charged the people responsible
