Idaho Teen Arrested for Planning ISIS Church Attacks

18-year-old Alexander Scott Mercurio was arrested and charged with providing support to ISIS after planning to attack churches in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He detailed his plot to an FBI informant, expressing his commitment to slaying as many people as possible before dying through suicide or an encounter with law enforcement. Mercurio had been raising money for ISIS and had pledged loyalty to the group. Law enforcement thwarted his plan and found items he intended to use in the attack, along with an Islamic State flag in his bedroom. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.
