targeted the iconic yearly celebration to carry out a brazen act of violence and hatred in the name of jihad,\u201d Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement. \u201cBickford\u2019s alleged attack in one of the most visited destinations in the world on its busiest night of the year ironically only served to spotlight the coordination, resolve, and dedication of American law enforcement to guard the wellbeing of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bickford began to consume materials that preached radical Islamic ideology, including materials promoted by the Taliban and tied to the teachings of prominent radical Islamic cleric Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, who was a spiritual mentor of al Qaeda, according to the feds.<\/p>\n<p>By November, Bickford planned to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> to the Middle East to support the Taliban, and even told a family member he could be a suicide bomber, but later decided to wage his war in the US when he traveled to the Big Apple, prosecutors alleged.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

according to federal prosecutors.
