Portland Car Bomb Plot
A Corvallis police officer walks past a fire damaged window at the Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Center in Corvallis, Ore. Sunday, Nov. 28, 2010. Anger on Sunday over a Somali-born teen's failed plan to blow up a van full of explosives during Portland's Christmas tree lighting ceremony apparently erupted in arson on Sunday when a fire damaged the Islamic center once frequented by the suspect. Police don't know who started the blaze or exactly why, but they believe the mosque was targeted because terror suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, occasionally worshipped there. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
