NY woman busted in ISIS-linked plot to bomb state Capitol after converting to Islam, cheering 9/11 attacks: feds

A New York woman plotted to bomb the state Capitol in Albany after pledging allegiance to ISIS and celebrating the 9/11 terror attacks, the FBI said Thursday.

Jessica Bowie, 35, from Albany, allegedly began strategizing the attack in July — and planned to place the bomb in a DoorDash food delivery bag, taking apparent glee in the bloodshed it would cause,the feds wrote in a criminal complaint.

“Blowing kafirs [non-Muslims] brains out is beautiful,” she told someone who turned out to be an FBI informant, the complaint said.

She allegedly purchased bomb materials from a Home Depot on Aug. 5 and planned the attack with the help of FBI informants for two weeks, the feds said.

Bowie, who converted to Islam five years ago and was going by the Islamic honorific name “Aisha Saif,” also allegedly tracked the Capitol building for weeks, taking pictures from various vantage points including an “observation hall nearby,” according to the complaint.

She sent one of the informants pictures of Downtown Albany with the Capitol circled, indicating it was the building she wanted to target, telling them she would do it on a “day when we know Senators will be meeting,” according to the FBI.

In a message, she said she wanted to “Target my State Capitol… ideally in a way I could get away with and hop on a plane after,” the complaint said.

The ISIS-inspired militant planned to escape to Syria after the attack, according to the feds.

Black from head to toe and even wearing black gloves. What was she going to use for explosives?

Funny how the rhetoric of Malcolm X went unchecked.

She could do a lot of damage on her own if she fell on someone.

At least the black outfit covers this up. I don't think we need to check with Laz to get an opinion on this one. :-)

Poor thing - she’s so ugly. She really does NEED to cover her face...I think the ugly ones all turn to wanting to kill someone or blow something up. Have there been any recently who aren’t ugly? The Moscow ID killer, Charlie Kirk killer, the guy in FL who zeroed in on the president from the bushes, United Health Care Executive killer Mangione, Butler, PA would be assassin - may have forgotten some but that’s enough...ugly - INSIDE and OUT!

Many American converts are not as inept as this POS. I hope LEOs are keeping close track. It’s very difficult when they are female and covered from head to toe. Stay alert.

after converting to Islam

I know two people personally who converted to a new religion in the past year.

One became a Catholic, and has been voraciously reading everything from St. Thomas Aquinas to C.S. Lewis, in addition to lots of time at church, and a large amount of volunteer work with Catholic groups.

The other became an Orthodox Jew, and has spent immense time learning Hebrew and studying endless amounts of large texts. He goes to synagogue three times a day, plus learning, and visits people in hospitals, nursing homes, and even prisons.

These people become Muslims and the first thing they can think to do is murder people?

I’m glad my cousin retired recently, as she worked there.
