A man in Rochester has been charged with providing material support to the ISIL, as officials linked Emanuel Lutchman, 25, to the terrorist group from Syria. It has been reported that Lutchman was in contact with a member of the Islamic State, and receiving direction from that individual.
The FBI's Rochester Joint Terrorism Task Force has been investigating this matter, and according to officials involved in the investigation -- Lutchman stepped up the pace of working toward an attack on New Year's Eve.
According to the few details that have been available at this juncture, Lutchman expressed a need for money to execute the attack, made several purchases at local businesses -- including a Walmart in the Rochester-area, and even told one informant on Christmas, "It's going to get real after this. It’s just you, me, and the lord now."
Lutchman had previous convictions and had served time in prison. He told authorities once he was arrested that he wanted to carry out an attack in Rochester, at a nightclub or restaurant on New Year's Eve -- but was nervous about being caught or getting sent back to prison.
Officials also have pointed out that part of his reasoning for planning this attack in Rochester was to "improve his standing with ISIL." Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey will be prosecuting the case with the help of Trial Attorney Lawrence Schneider of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section.
This is the closest and largest threat that has been publicly known in the Finger Lakes Region, or Central New York as a whole -- which has caused some increased concerns about New Year’s Eve plans individuals may have.
While the FBI goes after people who put bacon on mosk doors.
Hey, he was just trying to freely excersize his religion.
His religious obligation is to follow his prophet’s example and instructions in their book to kill all infidels.
When I was growing up in Syracuse, to me Rochester was literally “the shining city on a hill.”

The FBI knew all about this..in fact, it could probably be said, they were all over this..the accused was working with an FBI informant/accomplice..
One’s reaction could be how many other events do they (FBI) know about ‘ahead of time’?

since obama is a muslim, sharia law and all that crap..ugh..
And this is only the beginning.
Obama has imported thousands and thousands of ‘immigrants’
along with jihadists, and distributed them all over America.
No town or city in America is safe anymore thanks to this Muslim/Marxist sob.
This there no one who could have/can put a stop to this insanity?
Kabuki theater; I suggest these were revealed on purpose by the taqiyya-emitting muzzies. Look over here!
Make a really BIG example of him...hang him in the street.
Yeah! Attacking a bar in Rochester! That’ll show these infidels!
Fortunately for us, most of these jihadis are dumb as posts. That said, I’m glad they stopped this guy before he hurt somebody.
To me Rochester was like Ithaca only bigger.
“New Year’s Eve terror plot foiled in Rochester”
How do we know it was a “terror” plot? How do we know it wasnt a workplace violence plot? /sarcasm
Rochester is called the flour city because of the many flour mills that were once there. When I was a kid growing up there, we used to say it was called the “flower” city because it stinks. It was also said that all the criminals came to Rochester, because they could get away with murder there. The city has definitely gone down hill since my childhood. The west side of the city where I grew up has become a $hit-hole like the rest of the place.
NY ping
Too close for comfort.....
