National Guard Reservist Arrested In Alleged LA Subway Attack Plot

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A National Guard reservist has been arrested at the U.S.-Canada border in Washington for allegedly trying to aid al-Qaida in a plot to attack a Southland subway.

Nicholas Teausant, 20, of Acampo, Calif., was charged Monday with attempting to provide material to support a foregoing terrorist organization, the U.S. District Attorney’s Office said.

Teausant was arrested at the Canadian border “with the intent of continuing to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a foreign terrorist organization more widely known as al-Qaida in Iraq,” officials said.

He allegedly began planning the attack late last year with the intent of carrying it out with the use of an unknown type of explosive on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, a complaint said.

Teausant is expected to make his initial appearance Monday afternoon.

What a moron. If you're going to attack a subway system, at least attack one that people actually use.

I didn't know LA had a subway. Now I see why.

So maybe this was just a plot to raise awareness that there is a subway in LA?

I occasionally take the red line from Mr Unicorn's place in Koreatown to Hollywood to go to the Arclight theater. The Cinerama Dome is awesome! It opened for the premiere of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinerama_Dome

God, my dad is obsessed with geodesic domes. He would love that place!

I would like it too, but my dad's voice would be buzzing in my ear.

I went to LA when I was 10. We stayed at the Beverly Hills Hilton. That's all.

An awesome place for what is quite possibly the best comedy of all times... And who said LA was over?

It is still quite the experience and one of the last places on Earth you can watch a movie in true Cinerama... It doesn't get any better than that; and on Sunset, to boot.

Truth! I saw the last James Bond in the Dome. Sensational!
