A woman who converted to Islam five years ago was arrested to an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol building in Albany.
Jessica Bowie, 35, told a confidential source between July17 and August 17 that she wanted to do something to “harm the enemies of god.”
According to the complaint, Bowie created several social media accounts to express her support for Islamic terrorism.
The social media accounts were “frequently suspended by providers for violating their terms of use.”
Bowie lived two miles away from the New York State Capitol, according to the complaint.
NBC News reported:
A woman has been charged with providing support to a terror group after allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired attack on the New York State Capitol building in Albany, federal officials said Thursday.
Jessica Bowie, 35, allegedly told a confidential source that she supported ISIS and asked for help learning to make explosives, according to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.
Bowie is expected in court Thursday afternoon in connection to a single charge of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terror organization.
Federal and state officials announced a press conference to address the case for 3 p.m. E.T.
According to the complaint, Bowie converted to Islam five years ago and made several social media accounts using an honorific Islamic name. It appeared that Bowie created so multiple accounts because they were “frequently suspended by providers for violating their terms of use,” the complaint said.
