Thanks to the great work of
@FBI and our law enforcement partners, an alleged terrorist plot to attack the New York State Capitol was prevented last night.
According to the complaint, the defendant swore allegiance to ISIS and planned to carry out a future deadly attack with explosives on the NY Capitol building while Senators were meeting. Thankfully, this scheme was disrupted, potentially saving many lives.
This is just the latest example of federal law enforcement stopping a terrorist attack in its tracks, before the unthinkable could happen.
@TheJusticeDept and our law enforcement partners will find anyone who even considers harming Americans and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
