The George Mason University student was arrested this week.

A Virginia college student is accused of plotting a "mass casualty attack" on the Consulate General of Israel in New York, according to court records.

An undercover FBI informant engaged with Hassan on one of the suspect's X accounts in August, and the two communicated through various platforms for several months after the source pledged loyalty to Hassan, according to the affidavit. Hassan allegedly sent the source a "pro-ISIS video that called for the killing of Jews" in mid-November, and in the ensuing weeks instructions on "how to prepare a martyrdom video" and bomb-making, according to the affidavit.
