Woman charged in US over plot to bomb New York State Capitol

US authorities have charged a woman with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group after she allegedly plotted to bomb the New York State Capitol, according to Punch.

Jessica Bowie, 35, allegedly told an FBI informant she wanted to “destroy” the building and kill senators during meetings, discussing plans to pose as a food delivery driver to plant explosives before fleeing to Syria.

She also allegedly considered attacking Times Square. After acquiring bomb components including nails for shrapnel, Bowie was arrested on August 19. She told agents, “There’s no helping me, you guys know enough.”
