A 3rd Infantry Division soldier was arrested Tuesday in Georgia on charges that he plotted to blow up New York City\u2019s 9\/11 Memorial and provide the Islamic State group with tactics and information for killing U.S. service members overseas.<\/p>\n

Army Pfc. Cole James Bridges, also known as Cole Gonzales, began communicating online with an FBI employee posing as an ISIS supporter in September 2020, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Bridges believed the person he was communicating with was in contact with ISIS fighters in the Middle East and provided the purported ISIS supporter with Army training materials and advice for attacking targets in New York City, including the 9\/11 Memorial.<\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Army Counterintelligence arrested Bridges on Tuesday, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of New York.<\/p>\n

He was charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and attempting to murder U.S. military service members, the press release stated.<\/p>\n

If convicted of both charges, Bridges faces a maximum sentence of up to 40 years in prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
