HAPPENING NOW: Maryland officials hold news conference after feds charge man accused of plotting to ram stolen truck into pedestrians.
Police inspect the scene July 15, 2016, where a truck crashed into the crowd during the Bastille Day celebrations the night before in Nice, France.
"He was a computer engineer by trade, and knew nothing of explosives or firearms. But he knew how to drive, and he also knew of the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France. So the defendant decided to use what was readily at his disposal and conduct a vehicular attack on a crowd of innocents," federal prosecutors said in court documents.
The next day, the stolen U-Haul was located at the National Harbor, and when law enforcement reviewed surveillance video of the area, they saw Henry driving the stolen U-Haul, the Justice Department said. Henry was arrested hours later, after allegedly hiding in a boat at the harbor. Before driving to the harbor, however, Henry allegedly drove to Dulles International Airport and looked to launch an attack on "disbelievers" there, but he left the airport after he couldn't get past the security perimeter, the Justice Department said.
