Feds: Mass. Man Planned To Blow Up Pentagon In 'Jihad' Against US



A Massachusetts man with a degree in physics was charged Wednesday with plotting to blow up the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol using remote-controlled airplanes filled with explosives.


Rezwan Ferdaus said he wanted to deal a psychological blow to the “enemies of Allah” by hitting the Pentagon, which he called “head and heart of the snake,” according to the affidavit.



“Allah has given us the privilege,” he allegedly told the informant. “… He punishes them by our hand. We’re the ones.”
