Washington (CNN)A man inspired by ISIS stole a U-Haul van and planned to drive it into a crowd of pedestrians at National Harbor, a shopping and hotel complex just outside Washington, DC, the Department of Justice alleged Monday.
Prosecutors in Maryland argue Rondell Henry, 28, should be detained as a "flight risk and danger to the community." According to a motion for detention, Henry is alleged to have been inspired by ISIS, "prepared to die for his cause" and to have stolen a vehicle in order to "use it to commit mass murder in the pattern established by ISIS."
