Philadelphia Teen Arrested in FBI Terrorism Investigation

A 17-year-old Philadelphia teen has been arrested and charged in an FBI terrorism investigation. The teen, who remains unnamed, is being charged as a juvenile but may be moved to adult court. The investigation began after the FBI discovered the teen's alleged communication with a foreign terrorist organization. The teen had acquired chemicals and materials to build a weapon of mass destruction and had access to a significant number of firearms. The arrest prompted a large police response, and the FBI conducted searches at two separate locations.
