The FBI’s Charlotte office said Sturdivant was “directly inspired to act” by ISIS. A press conference to reveal further details was set for 11:30 a.m. ET.
The bust follows last year’s ISIS-inspired New Orleans truck attack by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, in which 14 people were killed and 57 others were injured on Bourbon Street as New Year’s Eve celebrations were winding down.
