Federal authorities have arrested an Albany, New York woman, identified as Jessica Bowie, on charges related to an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol building. A newly released booking photo shows her face for the first time as the FBI outlined further details of the case, including her purchases at hardware stores and reported plans to flee to Syria, according to a former NYPD detective who reviewed the evidence.

Investigators say the plot extended beyond the Capitol to additional targets, though the article does not specify what those were. Officials have also pointed to Bowie's social media activity, described as incendiary, as part of the evidence against her, alongside concerns that ISIS has been able to radicalise Americans online with relative ease.
