NEW YORK: A man was arrested in Boston in connection to an alleged terror plot, one day after a knife-wielding suspect was shot dead, officials and media reports said Wednesday.
The US attorney’s office identified the suspect in custody as David Wright and said he would appear in a federal court on Wednesday.
Wright was arrested overnight after police and the FBI shot dead a 26-year-old terror suspect who allegedly closed in on officers while brandishing a military-style knife outside a pharmacy Tuesday.
The Boston Globe newspaper reported that the two men had conspired to kill a police officer, citing two law enforcement officials.
“We believe the intent was to behead a police officer,” the newspaper quoted the officials as saying.
The New York Times said Usaama Rahim, who was shot dead by police and the FBI on Tuesday, had been planning to behead a police officer.
The Times said the shooting was an “unexpected episode” in a larger terrorism investigation, with links to several people, and that Rahim had been radicalized by extremists on social media
