The two attackers in that incident were killed by police.

In one lengthy post to suspicious website in June, Goldberg — allegedly using the name Auswitness — boasts of having "encouraged'' the Texas attack.

"I have a vast network of mujahideen around the world, and will continue to inspire and coordinate jihad attacks around the world,'' the June 9 post stated.


"Put the backpack near the crowd,'' Auswitness allegedly instructs the informant in a Aug. 27 message after the two have settled on the Kansas City target because of its proximity to the informant. "But make sure it's in a place where the (police) won't think anything of it.''


"Joshua Goldberg also admitted that he instructed the individual to place the bomb at an upcoming memorial in Kansas City,'' the federal complaint states. "In general...Goldberg claimed that he intended for the (informant) to either kill himself creating the bomb or, if not, that (Goldberg) intended to alert law enforcement just prior'' to detonation so that Goldberg might receive credit for averting the attack.
