New details are emerging about a woman charged in an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol, including claims from former roommates that they repeatedly contacted police about her behavior in the months before her arrest.
Jessica Bowie, 35, is being held in federal custody and accused of pledging allegiance to ISIS, conducting surveillance of the New York State Capitol on multiple occasions, purchasing bomb-making materials and taking possession of what she believed was a live explosive and a firearm.
The charges are allegations, and Bowie is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Speaking with The National News Desk, former FBI special agent in charge and former Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said undercover investigations can allow agents to determine both whether a suspect is working with others and whether that person intends to carry out an attack.
