(Washington Post) Eli Rosenberg - Damon M. Joseph, 21, was arrested Friday and charged with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State by planning an attack on a synagogue in Toledo, federal officials announced Monday. After Joseph posted photographs of weapons and messages in support of the Islamic State on his social media accounts, undercover FBI agents began corresponding with him. After a gunman killed 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue, Joseph told an undercover agent that he "admire[d] what the guy did with the shooting....I can see myself carrying out this type of operation inshallah [if Allah wills it]." On Dec. 4, he said he was deciding between two synagogues in the area, saying the choice depended on "which one will have the most people."
