FBI Arrests PA Man Over Alleged ISIS Plot
The News
A 21-year-old Pennsylvania man has been arrested in an alleged ISIS-inspired firearm plot, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the suspect was plotting "a violent attack in support of ISIS."
Fox News, citing the DOJ, identified the man as Jonathan Hunter Kramer and reported he was arrested with a semiautomatic rifle and 190 rounds of ammunition after FBI agents tracked him to a Pennsylvania hotel.
What the DOJ Alleges
According to the Fox News account of the case, Kramer pledged allegiance to ISIS and acquired the semiautomatic rifle before agents moved in.
The allegations have not been tested in court. The Frank has not independently verified the charging documents, and the case details available so far come from the Justice Department and the FBI.
