I give this cop credit for reporting suspicions about his son and putting a stop to what may have been another bad terriorist incident in the US. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...er-ciccolo-busted-alleged-terror-plot-n391246
The FBI watched him buy a pressure cooker at a WalMart in North Adams, Mass., the documents say. On July 3, an undercover operative gave him four guns that he had requested, and he was arrested a short time later.
Investigators say several "partially constructed" Molotov cocktails were found in his apartment, along with two machetes and a long, curved knife.
At a hospital where he was taken for treatment, authorities say, he stabbed a nurse in the head with a pen.
A detention hearing has been scheduled for July 14 at 3:30 p.m. in Springfield.
The Ciccolo family released a statement Monday afternoon through the Boston Police Department, reading:
"While we were saddened and disappointed to learn of our son's intentions, we are grateful that authorities were able to prevent any loss of life or harm to others. At this time, we would ask that the public and the media recognize our grief and respect our desire for privacy.
