A 35-year-old Albany, N.Y., woman is in federal custody for allegedly planting a bomb in the State Capitol building with lawmakers inside.

Details are still thin, but I'll give you what we know and some choice reactions.

A Fox News breaker reports that the FBI told the network that a suspect named Jessica Bowie plotted to kill New York lawmakers after she "pledged allegiance to ISIS," more accurately known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Bowie allegedly planned to hide a bomb inside a DoorDash bag, "hoping to strike while state senators were meeting."

Wednesday, Bowie allegedly bought from two FBI informants what she thought was an explosive device, but was actually inert, according to the bureau. She was also given a non-functioning handgun.

This is very early, so keep a decent sized block of salt next to you.

Alleged New York ISIS bomb plotter threatened to kill roommates, blow up their apartment building: report

A New York woman facing federal charges over an alleged ISIS-linked plot to bomb the state Capitol terrorized her Albany roommates for months before her arrest and threatened to blow up their apartment building, according to two former roommates who spoke to the New York Post.

Roommates Zephyr Brennan and Ivory Thomas said that between January and July, Jessica Bowie, 35, played loud Islamic prayer recordings late at night and repeatedly threatened them when they confronted her about her disturbing behavior.

“Looking back, the Arabic hymns at 2 a.m. should’ve been a red flag,” Brennan said.

Thomas said she called Albany police seven times, including after alleged death threats, but felt officers dismissed her complaints as a "he-said-she-said" situation. She described one incident where Bowie threatened to blow up the building while she was on the phone, and another where Bowie made a disturbing threat to poison her food.

Thomas said a separate dispute over garbage ended with a death threat from Bowie. When she called the police, they couldn't get Bowie to come out of her room.

Thomas also said she contacted child protective services after Bowie's 11-year-old son, who did not live at that house, allegedly harmed Bowie's cat.
