Syrian man arrested in Pittsburgh for plotting terror attack on church
This is a lone wolf working on behalf of ISIL. Good work law enforcement!
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 21, was arrested Wednesday based on a federal complaint charging him with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, and two counts of distributing information relating to an explosive, destructive device or weapon of mass destruction in relation to a plan to attack a church.
He is due in court on Friday.
Alowemer allegedly planned to bomb the Legacy International Worship Center using a weapon of mass destruction. The FBI said Alowemer thought he was plotting online and in person with fellow ISIS sympathizers, but they were actually undercover for the FBI.
When Legacy International Worship Center Pastor Michael Day received a call from the FBI, he was overwhelmed.
"I am grateful nothing did happen and I'm grateful that we are able to show that God covered us and protected us and that people are still alive, and that people are able to hug their children and loved ones," Pastor Michael Day said.
