New York Post: "Six Russian nationals suspected to have terror ties to ISIS have been arrested in a co-ordinated sting operation spanning Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Two ICE sources confirmed to The Post they arrested the six people, who hail from Tajikistan, over the last week after the FBI contacted the agency to warn them.
Part of the investigation featured a wire tap which revealed one of the now arrested individuals was talking about bombs, the sources said.
'Remember the Boston marathon [bombing]? I’m afraid something like that might happen again or worse,' one of the sources told The Post.
The target who was subject to the wiretap was previously released by federal authorities at the southern border with a court date next year, however it has since emerged he has potential ties to ISIS, sources said."
