State Senator George Borrello praised the work of the FBI and State Police to thwart the alleged plot by 35-year-old Jessica Bowie. Borrello says he would like to think that Bowie's alleged premeditated actions to be an isolated incident. However... he adds that she pledged her support for ISIS, and that "anti-American rhetoric that is often spewed" by some members of the Senate and Assembly has an impact... in particular those from the far left, and the mayor of New York City, who himself is an Islamist. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York alleges that Bowie gained possession of what she believed to be an explosive device with the intent of targeting the State Capitol and state senators.
