The FBI said Friday that agents "thwarted a potential terror attack on New Year’s Eve in North Carolina."
The FBI, in a post on X, wrote: “The subject was directly inspired to act by ISIS.”
The FBI said it arrested a man who pledged loyalty to the ISIS terrorists and plotted an attack on a North Carolina grocery store on New Year's Eve.
Christian Sturdivant, 18, was charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terror organization.
Sturdivant was arrested by federal agents Wednesday.
He remained in custody after an appearance before U.S. District Judge Susan Rodriguez on Friday morning, pending a hearing Jan. 7. The lawyer representing Sturdivant in federal court Friday didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
An FBI affidavit filed in the case said Sturdivant came under investigation last month following information that an account that officials say was later connected to Sturdivant had made social media posts supportive of ISIS.
The affidavit says Sturdivant had been on the FBI's radar in January 2022, when he was a minor, after officials learned that he had been in contact with an ISIS member in Europe and had received instructions to dress in all black and commit attacks with a hammer.

FBI is able to entrap a disgruntled, low IQ 18 year-old into fake-planning a terrorist attack in NC
But somehow missed the nearly decade-long theft of $$tens of billions from state child-welfare programs by large numbers of people from ONE ethnic group, and the overseas remittance funding of Somali terrorist groups.
I knew it, white/caucasian.
Idiots abound.
Why do these creeps want to attack a grocery store?
Americans should have a right to buy food without fear of attacks!
My thoughts exactly.
I was wondering why the commie media didnt show a pic of the perp heres why
That was my first thought.
The fact that they triumphantly arrested him during a slow news cycle says a lot.
> Why do these creeps want to attack a grocery store? <
Just a guess: Maybe the store is Jewish owned, a kosher store.
Such attacks have happened in Europe.
Here’s one:

And he’s been on the FBI’s “radar” since 2022? Welp, so much for fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them here. Allowing legal (and illegal) immigration from that part of the world nullified it all. This isn’t totally remote control, you can bet he has contacts and support here.
“ISIS-Inspired” = Muslim
I find it hard to believe only Somalis could come up with the financing scheme, given that they aren’t the only special interest group the Democrats pander to.
It was a New Years plot, New Years was this week
Yep, Songbird McCain's ISIS "friends".
Not necessarily… the younger generation does their stinky biz online in Discord, Telegram, and TikTok… at least two of which are services provided by foreign enemies of the US…
First name is Christian yet he hates Christians.
“dress in all black and commit attacks with a hammer.”
What melenated person needs to be inspired by ISIS for a hammer (or knife or lighter fluid) attack? Just ride public transportation in a blue city. And even after the attack a democrat judge will let you right back on the streets.
Boy was mis-named by his momma
