(NY Post) The group of Tajik migrants with suspected ties to ISIS had been planning an attack on an LGBTQ establishment in Philadelphia and looked to target “infidels” before they were pinched in June, the Post has learned.
The eight terror suspects from Tajikistan crossed the southern border, some using the Harris-Biden administration’s CBP One phone app, and federal agents didn’t uncover any information suggesting terrorism ties, sources said.
They were nabbed as part of a multi-state sting that spanned New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles — with one of the suspects caught on wiretap talking about bombs, sources previously said.
But it later emerged that the group had also planned the attack in the City of Brotherly Love, a congressional source told the Post, without elaborating. A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement source also said that the group had been discussing targeting “infidels” in the US.
