PAKISTANI-born MUSLIM TEEN arraigned and held without bail for allegedly plotting ISIS-inspired terror attack in Queens, NY

ABC News Chudhary, 19 of East Elmhurst, New York, allegedly exchanged texts with undercover investigators during a five-day period about what authorities describe as an interest in conducting a possible ISIS-inspired attacks at locations within a block of his house.

Prosecutors charged in the criminal complaint that Chudhary pledged allegiance to ISIS and listed targets such as “the pedestrian bridges over the Grand Central Parkway to the Flushing Bay Promenade … and the New York World’s Fair marina” in order to target “multiple vehicles.”

Chudhary also also wanted “to record his attack in order to inspire others to perform similar attacks,” according to the criminal complaint.

Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan Algore said Chudhary was the one who suggested the attack. “He did surveillance of the areas, provided video of what he called ‘bucket bombs,’ he talked about avoiding detection in order to commit more (attacks),” said Algore to the judge during the bail hearing.

Chudhury, who allegedly thought he was communicating with ISIS since Aug. 23, said he intended to do a knife attack because “that’s all he knows,” but if he was instructed on how to build a “bucket bomb” he would “consider a bombing attack as well,” according to the criminal complaint.

Magistrate Judge James Orenstein denied issuing any bail amount for Chudhary or to release him to the custody of his parents. “The defendant is a significant danger to the community.”
