FBI says ISIS-inspired terror attack foiled, days after Trump's bombing campaigns in Nigeria, Syria

U.S. authorities in North Carolina say they thwarted a New Year’s Eve ISIS‑inspired terror plot, charging 18‑year‑old U.S. citizen Christian Sturdivant with attempting to provide material support to the group after he allegedly pledged allegiance online, detailed plans to attack a Mint Hill grocery store and fast‑food restaurant with knives and a hammer, and left a manifesto describing a mass killing, with officials stressing that fast action by federal and local investigators likely prevented a large‑scale tragedy.
