A Virginia man arrested in an FBI sting back in February who allegedly plotted to bomb the U.S. Capitol will plea guilty today, according to a federal court filing. Amine El Khalifi, 29, was arrested in February after allegedly working with undercover FBI agents he believed were terrorist operatives. As TPM reported, he switched his target many times:
An affidavit from an FBI agent filed in federal court Friday says that Amine El Khalifi planned to explode a bomb at an office building in Alexandria that contained military offices, then wanted to attack a synagogue, then decided to target an Army general, then a government building, then a restaurant next to that building because it was frequented by military officials.
