FBI thwarts 'potential terrorist attack' on New Year's Eve in North Carolina inspired by ISIS

The FBI announced on Friday that it thwarted a "potential terrorist attack" inspired by ISIS on New Year's Eve in North Carolina. Christian Sturdivant, 18, of Mint Hill, was arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison, but officials said the sentence will depend on several factors. The bureau reported Sturdivant was allegedly planning to wear a Kevlar vest and use knives and hammers to attack people at a grocery store and fast food restaurant.
