A young American who assumed the online identity of an Australian jihadist has been arrested for an alleged plan to bomb a September 11 memorial event, authorities said.
Joshua Ryne Goldberg, who was arrested in Florida, has admitted to providing instructions on how to make a pressure cooker bomb with the intent "to kill and injure persons," according to court doucments.
The 20-year-old's directives included instructions on how to fill the bomb "with nails, metal and other items dipped in rat poison," to be placed at a September 11 memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, the US Department of Justice said.
He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted, the department said.
Australian Federal Police confirmed they had helped the Federal Bureau of Investigation track down the 20-year-old man.
They alleged that Goldberg, who posed online as "Australi Witness," had "provided information over the Internet in an attempt to facilitate and encourage terrorist acts in Australia" as well.
Goldberg's arrest, which was authorized Wednesday by a US judge, came as Americans prepared for the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York and destroyed part of the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people.
