The Toledo Blade reports:
The FBI on Monday announced the arrests of two people in terrorism-related cases, including a man who planned an attack on a synagogue in Toledo. Damon Joseph, 21, of Holland, was arrested on one charge of attempting to provide material support to ISIS after law enforcement said he planned to attack a synagogue.
Officials said he spent months planning an attack and wanted to commit one in Toledo similar to the anti-Semitic attack in October by a gunman at Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh where 11 people were killed and six were injured.
“I admire what the guy did with the shooting actually,” Mr. Joseph stated to an undercover agent about the Pittsburgh shooting, according to the Department of Justice. “I can see myself carrying out this type of operation…”
