The 22-year-old said last year he had planned a "massive attack" against soldiers stationed at Fort Hood... ...Abdo, a Muslim convert and Texas native, refused to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan from Fort Campbell in Kentucky, before going missing on 4 July 2011... ...According to authorities, he intended to set off a bomb in a Chinese restaurant popular with Fort Hood soldiers and their families.
