ISIS and Northern Virginia: Yet Another Resident is Suspected of Alleged Allegiance

For the third time in two weeks, a Northern Virginia resident is accused of plotting to help the Islamic State (ISIS).

This time it's reportedly Yusuf Wehelie, 25, of Fairfax County. He had been under investigation since last winter, according to the Washington Post, and was arrested last week on weapons charges. On Wednesday, an FBI agent testified that Wehelie had spoken of wanting to join ISIS or attack a U.S. military recruiting facility.

This comes on the heels of a man scouting and photographing various D.C. landmarks and another who unsuccessfully tried to purchase weapons.

Burke resident Haris Qamar was arrested last Friday on charges of attempting to provide material support and resources in support of ISIS. Officials say he wanted to photograph well known sites in the District that would be used in an ISIS recruiting video.

Meanwhile, Loudoun County resident Mohamad Bailor Jalloh was arrested July 3 and is accused of planning a terrorist attack in support of ISIS. He, too, was being monitored, and after twice being denied in is attempt to buy an assault rifle, the feds gave him a dummy gun and he subsequently was arrested.
