Presidential candidate Donald Trump is now also a successful prophet after an arrest of a Philadelphia teen who was planning an ISIS-inspired attack on the Pope!!
The FBI quietly arrested a 15-year-old boy outside of Philadelphia last month for allegedly threatening to launch an ISIS-inspired assault on Pope Francis while the world leader tours the United States next week, ABC News has learned.
The case, like so many others in recent months, highlights just how effective ISIS has become in using social media to radicalize Americans, particularly children.
“The minor was inspired by [ISIS] and sought to conduct a detailed homeland attack which included multiple attackers, firearms, and multiple explosives, targeting a foreign dignitary at a high-profile event,” according to a joint intelligence bulletin by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued to law enforcement across the country on Aug 14.
The “foreign dignitary” mentioned in that bulletin is the Pope, who will finish his U.S. trip with two days of events in Philadelphia, sources told ABC News. In fact, the case is what the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Mike McCaul, was likely referring to Sunday when he disclosed that U.S. authorities “have disrupted one particular case” involving threats to attack the Pope, sources said.
“The minor obtained explosives instructions and further disseminated these instructions through social media,” according to the joint intelligence bulletin.
The boy has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a terroristorganization and attempting to provide material support to terrorist activity, the bulletin added.
It was just a few weeks ago that Trump was asked what he would say to the Pope about capitalism, and he said he should worry more about ISIS coming after him!!

Score one for the Donaldinator!!
