Who is Christian Sturdivant? Federal authorities say the 18-year-old from Mint Hill, North Carolina, was in the final stages of planning a New Year’s Eve terror attack inspired by ISIS. Investigators allege Sturdivant pledged loyalty to the terror group online, communicated with a covert FBI employee he believed was an ISIS member, and prepared weapons and written plans targeting civilians. Law enforcement moved in just days before the alleged attack, arresting Sturdivant and charging him with attempting to provide material support to ISIS. This video breaks down his background, online radicalization, and how authorities stopped the plot.
