The FBI arrested Jessica Bowie, 35, a New York woman accused of plotting an ISIS-style attack on the New York state Capitol. The arrest took place in Albany this week, according to a U.S. Justice Department complaint cited in the report. Prosecutors allege Bowie wanted to bomb the Capitol and believed she was communicating with ISIS while discussing a plan to plant an explosive device in a food delivery bag. She was arrested while carrying a written oath of allegiance to the terror group after converting to Islam about five years ago. Homeland security expert Brandon Behlendorf warned the risk is not limited to one city and highlighted the challenge of countering online radicalization as terrorist ideologies decentralize.
