An ISIS-inspired terror attack was reportedly stopped in Pennsylvania before innocent Americans could be harmed.
Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, of Valencia, Pennsylvania, was arrested by the FBI on September 12 after investigators allegedly caught him taking final steps toward a violent attack in support of ISIS.
The U.S. Department of Justice charged Kramer by federal criminal complaint with receiving a firearm and ammunition while knowing, or having reason to believe, they would be used to commit a felony or federal crime of terrorism.
According to federal authorities, Kramer operated online under the alias “Hamza Al Rashid.” Investigators say the account claimed affiliation with ISIS, offered to share explosive manuals, and discussed preparing for a “mission” while saying he was only missing a weapon.
The FBI had reportedly known Kramer since 2023, when he was a minor.
In 2023, while still a minor, he was investigated after using Telegram under names including “Nikolas Cruz” and “@ShootIntoACrowd.”
Agents searched his parents’ home and found a recording of him pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Pennsylvania authorities adjudicated him delinquent for his role in a mass-casualty plot and for possessing child sexual abuse material. He was sent to a juvenile facility in Oil City and released in March 2026, NBC News reported.
