Boston25 reported that Hasher Jallal Taheb was a radicalized Islamist who was speaking to an FBI informant. The undercover FBI sting foiled his plot:

The criminal complaint, which accuses him of plotting to destroy a government building, said a community member contacted law enforcement in March 2018 to say that Taheb had become radicalized. On Aug. 25, 2018, Taheb allegedly put his vehicle up for sale. An FBI informant reached out to show interest and met with the suspect days later. Taheb allegedly said he planned to travel to “hijra,” a term said to refer to Islamic State territory and he was selling the car to fund the trip. But he didn’t have a passport. He allegedly told the informant he wanted to attack the White House and Statue of Liberty in jihadist attacks. Taheb spoke of traveling to territory controlled by the Islamic State, prosecutors said.

According ABC News, Taheb told the FBI informant that “jihad was the best deed in Islam and the peak of Islam,” adding that “it was not complicated at all to do jihad today,” according to the complaint.
