As the nation endures a relentless and often bloody conversation about the catastrophic costs of open borders and unchecked immigration—a conversation punctuated by atrocities like the recent D.C. shooting—a new and horrifying plot has been dragged into the light. Yet, in a stunning display of editorial negligence, two of the three major broadcast networks, CBS and ABC, could not be bothered to cover it. Their silence is a deafening dereliction of duty to the American public, who deserve to know the threats brewing within their own communities. Only NBC News, to its credit, carried the report, revealing the chilling details of a thwarted terror attack in Delaware.
The report, aired on NBC Nightly News on December 3rd, 2025, laid out the grim facts. As correspondent Sam Brock detailed, police confronting University of Delaware student Luqqman Khan found him armed and uncooperative. “Khan was uncooperative and armed, they say, with a loaded Glock handgun, more than 1000 rounds of ammunition and an armored ballistic plate, as well as a notebook that according to the federal complaint states his desire to be a, quote, ‘martyr’,” Brock reported. The notebook named a university police officer as a target and contained phrases like “Battle efficiency, kill all, martyrdom, all combatants.”
The deliberate invocation of “martyrdom” exposes the true, ideological nature of this threat, a dimension other networks seem intent on ignoring. Newcastle Police Chief James Leonard noted the escalating horror, stating, “I’ll tell you- as you peel back every layer, it gets more and more chilling. What I truly believe is a cold individual with no regret for human life.” This was not a simple crime of passion, but a meticulously planned act of jihadist terrorism.
Furthermore, NBC’s reporting, while commendable for its mere existence, soft-pedaled critical details. Khan was not merely arrested with “rounds of ammunition,” as initially suggested. A more complete picture, reported by The New York Post, reveals “a cache of guns, ammunition and body armor, and a manifesto allegedly explaining plans to ‘kill all’ and achieve ‘martyrdom’ with a mass shooting on the school’s campus.” His writings were extensive tactical blueprints, detailing equipment capabilities, maps, escape routes, and “warfare techniques.” The Post cited Khan’s belief that achieving martyrdom “was one of the greatest things you can do.”
The identity of the suspect is central to understanding the story, yet it is the element the liberal media downplays. Khan, a naturalized American citizen originally from Pakistan, came to the U.S. as a teen. This case forces the obligatory, urgent questions that networks like CBS and ABC refuse to ask: Who radicalized him? How was he radicalized? And, most critically, how many more are there? Their failure to cover this story is a conscious act of omission, a cowardly avoidance of the hard truths about the deadly ideology that fuels such plots and the immigration policies that allowed its bearer into the country.
This is precisely why the strong, America-first leadership of President Donald Trump remains essential. While his political opponents and their media allies dismiss the nexus between immigration and security, President Trump has consistently warned of these very dangers and taken decisive action to vet those entering our homeland. This thwarted plot is a vindication of his unwavering commitment to rigorous vetting and a stark reminder of the consequences of the lax policies his opponents advocate. The brave work of law enforcement, which Chief Leonard called “the type of work that law enforcement across the country does every day,” is supported by an administration that prioritizes their mission and calls threats by their true name.
