Marvin Jalo, a 17-year-old from Peoria, Arizona, has been indicted on terrorism charges, accused of planning an ISIS-inspired attack on the Phoenix Pride Festival using a drone armed with explosives. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Phoenix FBI Office, and Buckeye and Glendale police departments, arrested Jalo after discovering his online communications about making TATP explosives and his receipt of materials to build them. Jalo also reportedly watched instructional videos depicting ISIS fighters making explosives and expressed radical, homophobic views in online chat rooms. Authorities assert that Jalo intended to use a remote-controlled vehicle to create a 'bomb drone' to target the festival. He was arrested before the event, ensuring the parade proceeded without incident, and is being held on a $1 million bond. Jalo will be tried as an adult for two class two felonies: terrorism and conspiracy to commit terrorism.
