Ex-marine ‘plots Christmas terror attack in San Francisco’

A former Marine has been arrested for plotting a Christmas Day attack on San Francisco’s PIer 39. 

The FBI announced on Friday that Everitt Aaron Jameson from Modesto, California, had been taken into custody. 

They found a manifesto at his home which described his plan and pledged his allegiance to Islam. 

On Facebook, he shared anger over President Trump’s recent announcement that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel – a move which enraged millions of Muslims around the world.

Jameson, who refers to himself as a ‘slave of Allah’ online, said Jerusalem was Palestine’s capital instead.

In his manifesto, he allegedly described being inspired by the October 31 New York City attack of Sayfullo Saipov. 

He singled out the San Francisco pier because it would be crowded on Christmas Day. 

Jameson revealed his plan to an undercover FBI agent, they said. 

The 26-year-old served graduated from the US Marines training in 2009 and was awarded the ‘sharp shooter’ title. 

He was discharged later for failing to disclose he had asthma.
