Mustafa Mousab Alowemer was arrested on terrorism charges in relation to a plan to attack a church in Pittsburgh, according to the Justice Department.
A Syrian man who is a refugee was arrested Wednesday on terrorism charges in connection with a plan to attack a church in Pittsburgh, according to authorities.
Alowemer allegedly bought several items earlier this month that could be used to build explosives, according to the complaint. Those alleged items include nails, batteries and consumer products that contain chemicals. Page 20 of the complaint details a June 11 meeting between Alowemer and an undercover FBI employee, where the agent seemed to have to guide the suspect on how to make a bomb in the first place.
According to the Cato Institute, there were 192 foreign-born terrorists who planned, attempted or carried out attacks in the U.S. between 1975 and 2017. Of those reported, 65% were Islamic extremists, 18% were foreign nationalists, 6% were right-wing extremists, 6% were non-Islamic religious extremists, 3% were left-wing extremists, and the remaining 2% were separatists or members of other ideologies.
