General Info:
Rondell Henry is a man from Maryland who is accused of planning an Islamic State-inspired attack at a shopping and entertainment complex near Washington.
Henry was charged in 2019 with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State terrorist group.
Henry stole a U-Haul truck and planned to drive it into a crowd at the National Harbor, a convention and tourist destination just outside the nation’s capital.
He told investigators that he planned to carry out an terrorist attack like one in which a driver ran over and killed dozens of people in Nice, France, in 2016, authorities said.
Henry reportedly told US officers he was “just going to keep driving and driving and driving” and didn’t plan on stopping.
Also, Henry watched Islamic State group propaganda videos of foreign terrorists beheading civilians and fighting overseas.
Investigators said they recovered a phone Henry had discarded on a highway in an apparent attempt to conceal evidence, including images of the Islamic State flag, armed Islamic State terrorists and the man who carried out the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, Florida.
