FBI Foils Capitol Bomb Plot by Woman | Tucson News

A 35-year-old woman, Jessica Bowie, has been arrested for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York State Capitol, fueled by her belief that certain laws violated Islam. FBI agents reportedly aided her for months, even supplying funds for bomb materials and handing her a gun, ammo, and an inert explosive device—before arresting her right after the meeting. She reportedly accepted her fate, saying, “There’s no helping me, you guys know enough.” The plot, which began in July, involved reconnaissance of the Capitol and targeting state senators, while state officials note heightened security measures already in place. Prosecutors call this an attack on democracy that will not be tolerated. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
