[0:00]" We have more now on the case of Sudbury native Tarek Mohammed charged with planning a terrorist attack on American troops shoppers and politicians. ABC's Don -- talked to terrorism expert Neil Livingston."
[0:11]" Well there's good news and bad news here the good news is we caught him before he didn't any thing. The bad news is that this is the seventh arrest in six states. In the last six weeks. Al- -Qaeda operatives -- those who sympathize with al- -Qaeda in the United States. And we're very lucky we've well rounded up all these guys but the real question we have now is is this just the tip of the iceberg. And that there are other sleeper agents and in this country that are going to carry out attacks sometime in the future."
[0:44]" We're authorities say that to their keeping close tabs on a potential situations. And apparently. That vigilance is paying off."
[0:53]" It is -- this guy doesn't really took the pro parliamentary of the others his father as an academic in the Boston area he's an American citizen. Assistant disturbing in and of itself I think the all of these arrests that we've seen in the last six weeks suggest that. We're on borrowed time right now on the bad it's going to happen. And one of these individuals of one of these groups is going to get through our. Safety net at some point and carry out an attack in this country."
[1:24]" Our motto was belligerent -- and in court on Wednesday. How would you rate him on the danger scale."
[1:32]" Well according to the federal authorities right now this with a guy that really had the capacity carry out attacks. He was in the early stages but he's a smart guy we do believe he may be a little unstable but he has intelligence -- apparently. Has. Educated himself and who build explosive devices and things like that. He doesn't seem at this point. He was going to be a suicide bomber he seems to be a disaffected person right now he's incipient angry guy someone that is very impressionable. We would've -- earlier he would join a cult or something like that. Same type of mind controlled this guy fits that profile."
