Farooqi was being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail. Adam Lee, special agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division, confirmed that the agency was investigating but did not provide additional details.

“While I can not discuss details of the investigation at this time, I do want to reassure the community that we are working to determine the nature of the incident”, he said in a statement.

According to CBS News, a USA intelligence source said Farooqui has been on the FBI’s radar for months and is believed to be self-radicalized.
