Entrapment involves the following:

Government officials or agents must initiate the idea. Individuals are persuaded to commit what they otherwise never planned. Moreover, they had no previous intent or willingness to do so.

Key is that prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that subjects weren't entrapped. Otherwise, due process convictions are prohibited. 

Nonetheless, judicial fairness seldom occurs in cases involving anyone for political reasons. Muslims are especially vulnerable. Once targeted, it's virtually impossible to escape unscathed.

On October 17, DOJ's New York Field Office headlined "Joint Terrorism Task Force Arrests Man in Lower Manhattan After He Attempted to Bomb New York Federal Reserve Bank."

Admittedly, bankers are reviled. Anger doesn't get aggrieved people mad enough to blow up buildings used for financial war on humanity.

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis wasn't helped. He was arrested for allegedly trying to blow up New York's Fed building. Allegedly, he used what he believed was a 1,000 pound bomb.

He faces charges of "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al Qaeda."
