The Zioneer reports new details about a female terror suspect arrested in New York, who allegedly converted to Islam, planned to target President Donald Trump, praised the September 11 attacks, and expressed a desire to kill as many people as possible. The suspect's identity has not been disclosed.
Later Thursday evening, The Zioneer Intelligence Desk obtained additional details in the ongoing investigation into Jessica Bowi, the female terror suspect arrested in New York. According to the new information, Bowi allegedly planned to target President Donald Trump and praised the September 11 attacks, expressing a desire to kill as many people as possible. This development expands on the earlier disclosure of her plot to bomb the New York State Capitol.
Earlier Thursday (21:35 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported that an FBI affidavit revealed Bowi had converted to Islam, pledged allegiance to the ISIS terror organization, and planned to kill at least 100 people using an explosive device disguised as a food delivery at the Capitol building in Albany. The current update adds the Trump-targeting element and the 9/11 praise, providing a fuller picture of her alleged intentions.
The case comes amid a series of foiled terror plots targeting high-profile U.S. officials. As The Zioneer previously reported (Tue Jun 16, 14:42 Jerusalem), the FBI thwarted a multi-stage drone and sniper conspiracy aimed at a White House UFC event. In a related development, the Department of Justice indicted eight individuals in connection with that plot (Fri Jul 10, 00:54 Jerusalem). These incidents underscore the ongoing threat from individuals inspired by extremist ideologies.
It has not been stated whether Bowi acted alone or as part of a larger network, nor whether the Trump-targeting plot was a separate operation or an extension of the previously reported Capitol plan. The suspect's identity was confirmed in earlier reporting as Jessica Bowi, but authorities have not disclosed further biographical details.
