BOSTON (AP) — The FBI says a knife-wielding man killed by terror investigators had planned to behead an unidentified victim, then changed his mind and said he wanted to kill police officers.
Usaama Rahim was killed Tuesday after authorities said he lunged at investigators who approached him to question him.
David Wright, a relative of Rahim’s, was ordered held Wednesday on a charge of conspiracy with intent to obstruct a federal investigation. The FBI says Rahim told Wright on Tuesday that he planned to begin trying to randomly kill police officers.
Boston Police said an anti-terror task force of FBI agents and police confronted Rahim on a sidewalk and fatally shot him when he refused to drop his knife.
