FBI Foils Alleged ISIS Inspired Bomb Plot Targeting New York Capitol The Federal Bureau of Investigation has thwarted an alleged plot to detonate a bomb at the New York Capitol building, in what officials describe as a significant disruption to planned terror operations.
According to law enforcement sources, the plot was inspired by the self proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS), and involved four individuals who had been monitored by the FBI for several months.
Investigation Details The investigation, dubbed "Operation: New Dawn," began in August 2022, when authorities received a tip about a suspicious individual who had made contact with known ISIS operatives overseas.
