New Year's Eve terror plot 'foiled' in New York
US authorities arrest and charge a 25-year-old man who planned to attack a restaurant in Rochester, New York on New Year's Eve.
Emanuel Lutchman has been arrested and charged with attempting to
provide material support to the so-called Islamic State, the U.S.
Justice Department said on Thursday.
Lutchman "planned to kill innocent civilians on New Year's Eve in the
name of the terrorist organization," said Assistant Attorney General
Carlin.
According to court records, Lutchman claimed to be receiving directions
from an overseas Isis member and planned to attack a restaurant or bar
in the Rochester area of New York.
"The FBI remains concerned about people overseas who use the Internet to
inspire people in the United States to commit acts of violence where
they live," said FBI Special Agent Adam S. Cohen.
European alert
Meanwhile, police in Belgium have detained six people in connection with
an alleged plot to target New Year's Eve celebrations in Brussels. Two
men were arrested earlier in the week.
The Mayor of Brussels has cancelled celebrations in the city.
French authorities say more than 100,000 police have been deployed across the country amid security concerns.
In the UK, more than 3,000 police will be deployed in central London.
"Our plans are purely precautionary and not as a result of any specific
intelligence," said a spokesperson for the Met.
