An Egyptian national, who is a George Mason University freshman with reported ties to ISIS, was arrested on Tuesday in Falls Church, Virginia, and charged with planning a terror attack on the Israeli Consulate General in New York.

Between Nov. 22 and Dec. 4, Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, 18, allegedly distributed “information related to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction in furtherance of commission of a federal crime of violence” of “first-degree murder of internationally protected persons,” per a criminal complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is currently going through the process of deporting Hassan, according to a 14-page affidavit that the FBI agent, who arrested the student, filed on Dec. 16 seeking an arrest warrant.

Hassan operated three social-media accounts that praised Osama bin Laden and ISIS, per the affidavit, which also alleges that the student wrote on social media that Hamas is an “armed resistance” rather than a terror group; the Israel Defense Forces “have been committing war crimes for decades”; and “it’s only time Palestine fight back.”

An FBI agent contacted Hassan on Aug. 24 and posed as a fellow traveler, according to the affidavit. On Nov. 15, Hassan shared a pro-ISIS video with the undercover agent “that called for the killing of Jews,” per the affidavit. The agent pledged to follow Hassan’s lead, and in the coming days offered to act on behalf of ISIS locally.
Hassan told the agent to “aim for government buildings,” and advised him on how to make a martyrdom video and how to “mask his identity, distort his voice and record the video with a blank background,” per the court document. The agent asked Hassan for a target on Nov. 23 and bomb-making guides.

The defendant allegedly told the agent “that he could find bomb-making instructions by looking for a specific search term on archive.org” and gave the agent “advice for bypassing Google’s potential censorship of the search results,” the FBI agent stated. Hassan then sent the agent “a direct link to the video with the bomb-making instructions” and “suggested that, based on the size of the bomb,” the agent “should get a backpack to put the bomb in.” Read More Here at Newsmax!
