Saba Ahmed, whose brother is a friend of the defendant, speaks to reporters following an appearance in federal court by terror suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud on Monday in Portland. Authorities say Mohamud and an FBI operative parked a van full of dummy explosives on Southwest Yamhill Street across from Pioneer Courthouse Square just after sundown Friday while thousands gathered in the square for the annual tree lighting. Mohamud is accused of attempting to detonate the explosives. (AP Photo/Steve Dykes)

• DFO: For those keeping score at home, the reporter just to the left of the woman being interviewed is former SR shining light, Julie Sullivan, now of the Oregonian. (H/T: Kevin Taylor/Inlander for point that out.)
  

Question: Some might say that the young suspect in this alleged bomb plot was entrapped. What do you think?
