A man who thought he had explosives for an
attack was arrested Friday near the US Capitol as
part of anti-terrorism investigation, the FBI said in
a statement.
“Explosives the suspect allegedly sought to use in
connection with the plot had been rendered
inoperable by law enforcement and posed no
threat to the public,” the FBI said.
The FBI said the arrest was “in connection with a
terrorism investigation,” and “was the culmination
of an undercover operation during which the
suspect was closely monitored by law
enforcement.”
Fox News reported that the suspect was of
Moroccan descent and had expressed interest in
an attack on the Capitol to undercover FBI agents,
who he had thought were with Al-Qaeda.
