A Maryland man inspired by the Islamic State group plotted to ram a stolen U-Haul truck into as many pedestrians as possible at a popular convention and tourist destination just outside the nation's capital, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The allegation was made in a court filing as prosecutors in Maryland urged a judge to keep the defendant, 28-year-old Rondell Henry, detained on a charge of driving a stolen vehicle across state lines. The police arrested him on March 28 after officers who discovered the stolen truck saw him leap over a security fence.
The government's six-page detention motion describes Henry as harboring hatred for "disbelievers" and looking to emulate Islamic State militants he saw on beheading videos and fighting overseas. On his phone, which prosecutors say he discarded on a highway in an apparent attempt to conceal evidence, authorities found images of the ISIS flag, armed ISIS fighters and the man who carried out the massacre in an Orlando, Fla., nightclub three years ago.

Rondell Henry is a Central American name, or an Islamic name?
Okay, he’s an enemy combatant, an ILLEGAL combatant (doesn’t wear a uniform and isn’t in any army, navy, etc., of any country that has declared war against America), here to murder Americans, spy on America, commit sabotage, etc... The punishment should be summary and almost immediate execution, the sentence for which should be determined by an afternoon military tribunal, and no one else, period. Ask those enemy combatants in WWII who tried it. What’s happened to our common sense?
