Hasher Jallal Taheb of Cumming, Georgia, was arrested in Gwinnett County and appeared briefly in court in downtown Atlanta in the case brought the FBI.
"His alleged intent was to attack the White House and other targets of opportunity in the Washington, D.C. area," U.S. Attorney B.J. Pak said.
Pak said Taheb intended to use IEDs and an anti-tank rocket to carry out the attacks.
The criminal complaint, which accuses him of plotting to destroy a government building, said a community member contacted law enforcement in March 2018 to say that Taheb had become radicalized...
...He allegedly told the informant he wanted to attack the White House and Statue of Liberty in jihadist attacks.
Apparently, he was going to blow a hole in the West Wing so that he and others could enter and just start taking people down, left and right.
Here's a video from a local news channel, (not sure where it is located):
Thank goodness for that community member. See something, fricken say something.
FBI says threat has been "neutralized", but if it were not for that person who tipped them off, who knows how far he would have got with his plans. And, he may be neutralized, but you never know if someone else is planning something crazy right now.
I think too many people get complacent and think nothing will happen, but again, thanks to that community member who wasn't complacent, who knows how many lives were saved. This could have been all kinds of people, Dems and Repubs, if the loser had been able to go through with it.
You know that in their hearts at least 30% of Democrats are saddened that he was not successful.
And 70% of the nitwit Republicans are seething with rage because they have to admit the deep-state, Trump-conspiring FBI did a Good Thing. There; see how that foolishness works both ways?
At any rate, congratulations to the FBI on another job very well done. Three cheers for the best and the most professional police agency in the entire world.

It was NOT a planned attack on D.C. - it was a planned attack on the White House.
Nancy scheduled the USHouse to be on home vacation all next week. 11 days out of D.C.
