USA v. Taheb, Hasher Jallal
Cumming, GA

Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)

[NDGA] Hasher Jallal Taheb, a resident of Cumming in Forsyth County, Georgia, sought to attack the White House and potentially some other monuments or a synagogue in DC. Taheb's alleged attack on the White House involved various explosives and firearms, though even days before he claimed he had still never fired a gun in his life but said he could learn fast, according to the criminal complaint. Authorities also said he planned to travel to the Islamic State territory but acknowledged he didn't have a passport. Taheb pleaded guilty to plotting an attack on the White House using weapons and explosives. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempting an attack on the White House.
