was caught with an automatic rifle and 190 rounds of ammunition, the feds said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kramer, 21, was charged with receiving a firearm and ammunition, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe they would be used to commit a felony or federal crime of terrorism, including providing or attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, <a data-ylk=\"slk:according to Fox News.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/pennsylvania-man-accused-plotting-isis-attack-arrested-rifle-190-rounds-ammunition-doj\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to Fox News.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s not the first time Kramer has been on the feds&#8217; radar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When he was a minor, he was charged in Pennsylvania for planning a mass-casualty attack and accused of having child sex abuse material, according to the report, which cited the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He served time in a juvenile detention facility, but it apparently did little to solve his violent impulses, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In March, a tipster told authorities that Kramer, of Valencia, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh, was buying &#8220;mysterious packages&#8221; and connecting with friends he had prior to serving time, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kramer used the name &#8220;Hamza Al Rashid&#8221; online, offered to share explosives manuals and wrote that all he needed was a &#8220;weapon&#8221; to carry out his mission, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The target of the alleged attack was unclear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">FBI agents watched Kramer leave his house last week with a bag and buy a disposable cellphone, and then followed him to a hotel and another store where he was seen at the gun counter, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They approached him when he returned to the hotel and found the rifle and ammo;\u00a0 five rifle magazines, two of which were loaded; a rifle scope, pepper spray, and 30 knives, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There was also a bizarre note, according to the DOJ, which read:\u00a0&#8220;DoNt look For me[.] IDK what I did buT I cant live In constant Fear[.]&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Watch above via Fox News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a data-ylk=\"slk:Pennsylvania Man Nabbed in ISIS Attack Plot Caught with 190 Rounds of Ammo and Automatic Rifle: Feds;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/pennsylvania-man-nabbed-in-isis-attack-plot-caught-with-190-rounds-of-ammo-and-automatic-rifle-feds\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Pennsylvania Man Nabbed in ISIS Attack Plot Caught with 190 Rounds of Ammo and Automatic Rifle: Feds<\/a> first appeared on <a data-ylk=\"slk:Mediaite;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Pennsylvania man with a history of violence has been arrested for plotting a violent attack in support&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[119300,22794,2032,119301,119292,119302,28,30,29,90567],"class_list":["post-286476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-automatic-rifle","tag-department-of-justice","tag-fox-news","tag-isis-attack","tag-jonathan-hunter-kramer","tag-juvenile-detention-facility","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-violent-attack"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
