hassan regularly consulted a manifesto that was written by a norwegian right-wing domestic terrorist who launched two coordinated attacks in july 2011 and that killed 75 citizens at that point. so all indications, anderson, are that this coast guard lieutenant was plotting a similar attack. agents dound draft e-mails, one said i m dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on earth. so some chilling words. he s now under arrest and prosecutors wants him to stay behind bars. do we know what prompted law enforcement to look into this guy living in a basement? it appears here that there were red flags here. and it was likely raised by people at the coast guard, perhaps people he worked with. he worked, he was assigned to coast guard headquarters in washington, d.c. up until his arrest late last week. the coast guard issued a statement where they did say that they led the investigation,
