Federal prosecutors say a Maryland man Rondell Henry that was inspired by the Islamic State group stole a U-Haul truck with plans to drive it into a crowd at the National Harbor, a convention and tourist destination just outside our nation’s capital.
Rondell Henry, 28, allegedly planned to use a vehicle to kill pedestrians at the waterfront development just outside the US capital. He has been charged with “interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle.”

A Maryland man inspired by the Islamic State group plotted to ram a stolen U-Haul truck into as many pedestrians as possible at a popular convention and tourist destination just outside the nation’s capital, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The allegation was made in a court filing as prosecutors in Maryland urged a judge to keep the defendant, 28-year-old Rondell Henry, detained on a charge of driving a stolen vehicle across state lines. The police arrested him on March 28 after officers who discovered the stolen truck saw him leap over a security fence.
Henry then made incriminating statements that show steps he took to maximize damage, prosecutors say.
“I was just going to keep driving and driving and driving. I wasn’t going to stop,” the document quotes Henry as telling law enforcement authorities who questioned him. He said he wanted to create “panic and chaos” similar to a deadly truck attack that killed scores of people in Nice, France in 2016, prosecutors say. More
Henry was allegedly inspired by videos he watched of foreign terrorists. Authorities say Henry was basing his plans on the 2016 walkway attack in Nice, France, which killed 80+ people.
