Terry Lee Loewen charged in planned suicide bombing at Wichita airport

Loewen has been under investigation by the Wichita Joint Terrorism Task Force since early summer 2013, Grissom said. Loewen didn’t realize he was having an online conversation with an FBI employee in which Loewen expressed “desire to engage in violent jihad on behalf of al Qaeda,” the criminal complaint said.

Over a period of months, Grissom said, Loewen took a series of steps to act on the plot, as part of the jihad, or “holy war.”

According to an affidavit, Loewen:

• Studied the layout of the airport and took photographs of access points.

• Researched flight schedules.

• Assisted in acquiring components for the car bomb.

• Talked about his commitment to trigger the device and martyr himself.

The 21-page criminal complaint details the development of the alleged plot and extensively quotes Loewen’s communication with the FBI employees.

There is an Aug. 5 communication in which he told an FBI employee, “As time goes on I care less and less about what other people think of me, or my views on Islam. I have been studying subjects like jihad, martyrdom operations, and Sharia Law.” He was also quoted as saying “I believe the Muslim who is labeled ‘a radical fundamentalist’ is closer to Allah … than the ones labeled ‘moderates’. Just my opinion; if I’m off base, please set me straight.”

Three days later, on Aug. 8, after the FBI employee offered to introduce him to someone who could help him wage violence, the complaint says, Loewen wrote: “Brothers like Osama bin Laden … are a great inspiration to me, but I must be willing to give up everything (like they did) to truly feel like a obedient slave of Allah.”

Around Aug. 21, he sent a message saying “I have numerous ideas of ways I could perform jihad,” and he said he had been sending money to the “Revolution Muslim website,” the complaint said.

Around Aug. 26, he talked to the FBI employee about giving a “tour” of Mid-Continent Airport, according to the complaint. About a day later, Loewen allegedly said: “I guess I look at myself as the ‘access’ guy at this point – just need more details at this point … are we talking explosives, because I know nothing about that? It’s all very surreal at this point, exciting, yet scary.”

He said he could escort someone onto the tarmac that leads to airliners and the control tower, and that he could gain access to bring a vehicle onto the tarmac, the complaint said.

Around Sept. 17, Loewen relayed photos of what looked like fighter jet trainers outside his hangar, the complaint said. The planes had apparently stopped for fuel. He talked of many “Apatche’s” staying overnight. And this, the complaint said:

“It would have been possible today for me to have walked over there, shot both pilots (I don’t know if they are armed or not), slapped some C4 on both fuel trucks and set them off before anyone even called TSA. Talks REAL cheap, however, so what I think I can do and what I actually can do are probably two different things.”

The complaint also gave this account: By early October, the FBI employee was telling Loewen that he had just come back from overseas and that “brothers” were excited about his airport access. When Loewen was asked if he could scout out targets and security and be willing to plant a device, he allegedly said, “I still need time to think about it, but I can’t imagine anything short of arrest stopping me.” He also expressed some concern to the person he was dealing with, saying, “I’m sorry I can’t say I trust you 100%; my greatest fear is not being able to complete an operation because I was set up. I hate this government so much for they have done to our brothers and sisters, that to spent (sic) the rest of my life in prison without having taken a good slice out of the serpents head is unacceptable to me.”

Loewen also allegedly told the person posing as a conspirator that he wouldn’t have vehicle access to a ramp until after the first of the year, “so driving on to airport property with a van full of C4 is out of the question – after the first of the year, we could drive a city bus out there.”

Loewen was told he could “back out at any time,” the complaint said. Loewen responded in part by saying, “I can’t see myself doing anything that involves killing children, unless I know everything is being done to minimize that.”

On Oct. 7, Loewen sent a number of photographs, showing his airport access badge, tarmac gates and gate devices.

By Oct. 11, Loewen told the FBI employee “he was prepared to go forward,” the complaint said. “Count me in for the duration,” he said. He talked of using a vehicle with a company logo.

By Oct. 18, he was talking of bringing a weapon, “if advisable,” to begin shooting if law enforcement arrived. In 2009, Loewen had a concealed-carry violation at the airport, according to Wichita police.

Things moved forward, according to the timeline: On Oct. 25, Loewen met with a second FBI employee, posing as a “brother” with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. During the meeting with the second FBI employee, Loewen repeated “his desire to help FBI Employee 2 with a mission to blow up a plane with numerous people on board,” the complaint said.

During a second meeting on Nov. 8, Loewen allegedly indicated he was willing to die, and become a martyr, in the attack.

The planning involved talk of moving an explosives-laden vehicle “to the terminal near a number of passenger planes,” and “Loewen suggested that another individual could come in to the terminal with a suicide vest and detonate that to coincide” with the explosives outside, according to the complaint.

The second FBI employee and Loewen “discussed executing this plan just prior to Christmas which would cause the greatest impact physically and economically,” the complaint said.

They had code words: “rental property.”

Loewen said he used Google maps to check out some areas of the airport.

In a Nov. 13 communication, Loewen brought up the need to stay below the radar. “Did you notice the brother who got busted trying to fly to Syria to aid Al Qaeda in fighting the taghoot government – guess he posted a large amount of radical information on Facebook and the FBI set him up. I keep a pretty low profile on Facebook anymore – I have more important things to attend to.”

In a meeting about a week later, on Nov. 19, Loewen again sounded committed to dying in the operation, the complaint said. The second FBI employee suggested that Loewen could be the “navigator” by giving directions on where the device could be exploded.

Loewen provided “research that he had conducted on the best time to execute the attack based upon the number of people who would be boarding aircraft and the number of people who would be in the terminal,” the complaint said. “Loewen further expressed his desire to kill as many people as possible, and he explained where to park a vehicle full of explosive to accomplish that goal.” He included a diagram of the terminal and tarmac.

He agreed to buy a device to set off the explosive, the document said. Loewen allegedly volunteered to wire the explosive device, “since he does wiring as part of his employment.”

The final plan: When Loewen got access, they would drive to the terminal early in the morning, exploding the device “between the terminals for maximum casualties,” the complaint said. Both Loewen and the second FBI employee would die in the blast.

According to the narrative, on Nov. 21, Loewen met with his supposed co-conspirator and brought components he got from his workplace. Around Dec. 3, Loewen provided containers for the explosives. Loewen marked an “X” on a diagram for the place to park the vehicle that would cause the most damage. Based on departure schedules Loewen offered, early morning was the ideal time.

On Dec. 6, Loewen renewed his badge and now supposedly had access to a gate to the tarmac.

On Dec. 9, this past Monday, he verified that the badge would work. In a meeting Wednesday, Loewen wired the detonator and helped the FBI employee build the rest of the bomb, the complaint said.

They decided to mount the operation on Friday, Dec. 13, and “Loewen stated that he was happy that this was going to happen soon.” He didn’t go to work Wednesday and wrote letters to his family.

At 4:45 a.m. Friday, the supposed co-conspirator picked up Loewen at a local hotel. They drove to a spot where the bomb was stored, and Loewen completed the wiring, the complaint said. Then, according to the authorities’ account:

At 5:19, they headed to the airport. At 5:40, Loewen tried to use his badge at the gate, where he had tested it two days earlier. But now it had been disabled.

After two tries at opening the gate, authorities arrested Loewen.

Grissom said FBI Evidence Response Teams are processing multiple locations but that no other arrests are expected.

At his court appearance Friday afternoon, Humphreys, the federal magistrate, told Loewen she was scheduling him for a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing for 11 a.m. on Dec. 20. Federal prosecutors told her in the courtroom that a grand jury would meet on Wednesday to consider an indictment.
