A man from Mississauga, aged 27, has admitted to attacking two correctional officers at a U.S. prison while serving time for planning a terror attack in New York City. Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, an inmate at the United States Penitentiary Allenwood in Pennsylvania, used a makeshift weapon from his cell to stab the officers, injuring them severely. The incident resulted in one officer losing his right eye. A note found on El Bahnasawy referenced the Islamic State, with further evidence linking him to the terrorist group. He has pleaded guilty to various charges including assault with intent to commit murder and supporting ISIS. Prior to the prison attack, he was already serving a sentence for his involvement in a terror plot targeting New York City in 2016.
