Washington — An 18-year-old from Idaho was arrested Saturday and accused of plotting to kill churchgoers in his town in the name of ISIS, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
Alexander Mercurio was charged in a criminal complaint with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He remains in custody and has not entered a plea, according to court records.
Investigators alleged Mercurio was about to attack at least one church in his area on April 7 — a Sunday — with guns, knives, and flammable chemicals, but they said they foiled his plans before he could carry out his plan.
Mercurio is accused of writing to an unnamed FBI source that he was set to "stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, killing as many people as possible." His goal, according to investigators, was to carry out an act of martyrdom before the end of Ramadan — the holy month observed peacefully by Islam practitioners across the globe that emphasizes prayer and fasting — and pledge his allegiance to the leader of ISIS.
"I am going to perform a martyrdom operation very soon," he allegedly wrote in one recent message. "The targets will be the various churches in my town."

This is exactly why I ALWAYS carry at church.
Depending on the type of church. Rightwing extremist
One day you may be arrested for allegedly plotting the consumption of beef.
Since when did law enforcement and jurisprudence treat of the mere potential for wrongdoing?
Hint: Makes me madd.
This guy was an idiot and got caught, they’re a bunch of potential terrorists out there that are not idiots but determined to carry out terrorist acts, it won’t be long before we see that playing out all over the place.
I’m somewhat surprised we haven’t seen multiple synagogues getting torched.
“This is exactly why I ALWAYS carry at church.”
It is a sad fact that church is the one place I feel I MUST carry. It wasn’t like this back in the day.
He was posting online what his intentions were.....how many times have we seen people do that very thing, carry it out and then we complain that it was known but no action was taken? 🤷
Agree.....even though our church always has a police presence on Sundays, we attend a smaller Monday night service and there aren’t any sheriffs there......I’m actually considering carrying a 2nd magazine.
It was like this in Obamas final year in office. The Jihad presidency. Thats when I started to carry at church.

I don't remember reading about "rightwing extremists" posting stuff like this:
So which alphabet agency was this fool being groomed by?

You mean aside from the overly ‘slippery-slope’ of thought-, I mean “hate” crime(s)??
If they can presume to read one’s thought/motive(s) & mind there, it’s easy enough to presume {X} ‘might’ do the ‘crime’ of {Y}
Its time to start calling out these satan worshipers for what they are. haters of the light and anyone who is drawn to the light. God haters, human haters.
All depends on whether there is a “D” or an “R” after his name.
Didn’t we all suspect there would be trouble when Kip hooked up with LaFawnduh? He really changed, after that.
“The defendant swore an oath of loyalty to ISIS and planned to wage an attack in its name on churches in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho”
Considering that half of the people living in Coeur d’Alene are ex-cops (based on what I’ve read), I’m not sure his above plan would have ended very well.
“I’m actually considering carrying a 2nd magazine.”
Getting killed for lack of shooting back is just plain embarrassing.

I recently have started carrying an extra mag on my person. I have always had extras in my vehicles.
After decades of carrying, I never felt the need to have one on me. Times have changed.
