Woman Charged with Planning IS Inspired Attack on New York State Capitol Building The arrest of 35 year old Jessica Bowie for planning an Islamic State inspired attack on the New York state capitol building serves as a sobering reminder that terror has no geographical bounds.
The fact that she had set foot on the capitol grounds, taking photographs of the building, raises disturbing questions about access to sensitive areas.
Bowie's alleged plan to deploy an explosive device and kill public officials is a chilling echo of previous attacks on government buildings worldwide.
