(WSYX) A 21-year-old Ohio man is accused of attempting to provide support to foreign terrorist organizations, after investigators say not only did he plot to support ISIS, but he was trying to plan an attack on a Toledo-area synagogue after he was inspired by the Pittsburgh attack.
Damon Joseph, of Holland, Ohio, was arrested December 7th on one charge of attempting to provide material support and resources. Investigators say they first became aware of Joseph in May through social media, and say they watched him progress in a matter of months from consuming ISIS propaganda to making videos in order to inspire others to planning attacks.
Agents say after the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in October Joseph said Jewish people are evil and “they got what was coming to them.”
