A Georgia man has been arrested by the FBI on suspicion of planning an attack Thursday on the White House and federal buildings in Washington, D.C.
NBC reports the suspect, 21-year-old Hasher Jallal Taheb, possessed a “hand-drawn diagram†of the West Wing’s ground floor and planned to load up a backpack with explosives and approach the White House “from the back road, causing a distraction for police, and then proceeding into the White House†to launch an attack. The suspect also planned attacks on the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and a “specific synagogue,†which was not named in the court filing.
NBC 11 reports:
The investigation, [U.S. Attorney B.J. Pak] said, began after a tip from someone in the community. It claims that Taheb planned to use explosive devices and an anti-tank rocket to carry out his attack. At this time, Pak said they believe Taheb was acting alone and “all potential threats have been neutralized.†Pak stressed there was never any threat against Georgia or the upcoming Super Bowl.
Taheb has been charged with violating Title 18USC 844(f)(1), an “attempt to damage by means of an explosive any building owned, possessed, or leased by the United States or any department or agency thereof, or any institution or organization receiving federal financial assistance.â€
