FBI Sting -- arrests woman in ISIS bombing plot

Albany woman charged in alleged ISIS-inspired Capitol bombing plot after FBI sting with three undercover operatives

Federal agents arrested a 35-year-old Albany woman on charges she plotted to bomb the New York State Capitol for ISIS, a case built over weeks by three undercover FBI operatives who posed as terrorist allies and handed her a disabled explosive device.

Jessica Bowie stepped out of a meeting on August 19 believing she had just taken possession of a working bomb. FBI agents were waiting. 

The arrest, the Washington Examiner reported, capped an operation in which three paid FBI sources, all with histories the bureau described as "credible and reliable", had spent weeks drawing out Bowie's intentions, supplying her with inert weapons, and documenting her escalating plans.

Bowie now faces a single charge of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, carrying up to 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and a lifetime of supervised release.

A federal judge ordered her held without bail after her initial court appearance the following day.
