The FBI has arrested a student at George Mason University in Virginia for allegedly plotting a mass casualty attack on the Israeli consulate in New York, according to a federal court filing. Egyptian national Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan faces a slew of federal charges tied to distributing information related to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction and the intent to murder internationally protected persons, according to an affidavit filed in support of a criminal complaint against him filed Monday in US District Court in Virginia. Hassan, who resides in Falls Church, Virginia, is in the process of being deported, according to court documents. He is a freshman majoring in information technology, the university said. Hassan came to the FBI’s attention through a tip regarding his active social media presence earlier this year, according to the affidavit. A tipster reported an account linked to Hassan to police, saying it engaged in “radical and terrorist-leaning behavior” on X, court documents show. Prosecutors alleged Hassan made posts “revering Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri” and operated “several pro-ISIS and al Qaeda accounts that promoted violence against Jews.” The FBI was able to trace the user’s posts to his phone and subsequently a university campus IP address in Virginia.
