ISIS sympathizer arrested for threatening violence at St. Patrick's Day parade in Yonkers
An ISIS sympathizer, Ridon Kola, was arrested and charged with federal charges after threatening to "slaughter" cops and "kill the fat rat mayor" of Yonkers, New York, during a St. Patrick's Day Parade. Kola allegedly made menacing messages directed at the police and city officials and social media posts "declaring war on America." Federal prosecutors connected Kola to ISIS using several social media posts that he allegedly made, including supportive messages about Sayfullo Saipov, who was convicted for his ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New York City that killed eight people on a bike path on Halloween 2017.
