FBI Announces Foiled ISIS Plot Targeting New York State Capitol

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that it had foiled a terrorist plot linked to ISIS targeting the New York State Capitol with explosives, confirming that the plan had reached an advanced stage before it was disrupted.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on Thursday that the plot aimed to cause as much destruction as possible inside the Capitol building and target members of the state Senate while they were in session.
He explained that the plan had reached an advanced stage of preparation before security authorities detected and foiled it, preventing the potential attack.
The announcement comes as US authorities continue to monitor threats linked to terrorist organizations, particularly attempts to target government institutions and public sites.
Further details regarding the number of people involved in the plot or the nature of the explosives allegedly intended for use have not yet been disclosed, while relevant authorities continue their security and investigative procedures in connection with the case.
