U.S. federal authorities are questioning a fugitive from Syria who was accused of plotting to attack a religious institution in Pittsburgh this spring.
Syrian refugee Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 21, who arrived in the United States almost three years ago, allegedly planned to bomb the Legacy International Worship Center on Pittsburgh’s north side to inspire ISIS followers based in Iraq and sympathizers in the United States to join together and commit similar acts in the name of ISIS.
