Naser Jason Abdo (born April 1, 1990) is an American former United States Army private first class who was arrested in 2011 for attempting to commit a terrorist attack against a restaurant frequented by soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas. He was convicted in federal court and sentenced to two consecutive life terms, plus 60 years, which he is currently serving in ADX Florence. Abdo joined the U.S. Army in 2009, but applied for conscientious objector status the following year. Army officials approved his application, but the process was put on hold when child pornography was discovered on his government-issued computer, and the Army suggested he be court-martialed. Abdo denied the charges and went AWOL from Fort Campbell, Kentucky over the Independence Day weekend. After a series of suspicious purchases, authorities located bomb-making materials in his hotel room and arrested him on July 28, 2011. Abdo is alleged to have planned the bombing because of his opposition as a Muslim to harming other Muslims during the war in Afghanistan. He was charged for a bomb plot, not terrorism, as he acted alone and was not part of a terrorist organization.
