Masked terrorist in NY aimed to attack Capitol for ISIS
U.S. authorities have arrested Jessica Boy, 35 years old from New York, on charges of planning a terrorist attack on the Capitol building in New York State as part of an ISIS plot. She had converted to Islam five years ago under the name "Aisha Saif," monitored the building for weeks, took photos of the area, and planned to blow up the Capitol during a Senate meeting. Boy intended to place a bomb inside a delivery container and aimed to destroy as much of the building as possible, killing officials. She also considered other attacks, such as targeting Times Square on New Year's Eve. Investigations revealed that her online accounts contained extremist posts praising the September 11 attacks and supporting jihadist ideology. She had declared allegiance to ISIS and was arrested near a restaurant close to the Capitol. According to investigators, Boy knew she would face the rest of her life in prison.
