EVERETT, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A man was arrested in Everett in relation to a Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation.
A local man, 26-year-old Usaama Rahim, was shot and killed by law enforcement agents after he allegedly approached officers with a large, military-style knife in Roslindale Tuesday morning. He had been under 24-hour surveillance by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the FBI confirmed in a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
In Everett, police blocked off Linden Street, unsettling neighbors, and officers entered a home there late Tuesday afternoon.
Just after midnight, authorities confirmed that they arrested David Wright, who will face federal charges in court on Wednesday. Officials said the investigation was potentially an "ISIS inspired plot to harm law enforcement officials."
The investigation spread into Rhode Island, FOX25 has learned, where the Joint Terrorism Task Force has been conducting surveillance that may also be connected to the terrorism investigation.
