Foiled New Year’s Terror Attack Is 76th Islamist Plot in US Since 9/11
"...Lutchman is a 25-year-old U.S. citizen who has a history of arrests and in 2006 was sent to prison for five years for robbery.
Beginning in November of 2015, he started confessing his allegiance to ISIS online.
It wasn’t until after purportedly getting in contact with a member of ISIS within Syria that the planning of an attack began.
Through his pledge of allegiance to ISIS, Lutchman declared his intent to travel to Syria and fight with the terrorist group—once stating,“I’m ready to lose my family.”...
Of the 76 terror attacks or plots since 9/11, Lutchman is the 65th case of homegrown radicalization, or where the terrorist was radicalized while in the U.S. 
It is also the 15th plot to target some sort of public mass gathering.
ISIS continues to be successful in its influence of misguided young Americans—as every attack or plot in 2015 was attributed to individuals who were at least partially inspired by ISIS and less so by other Islamist terrorist organizations.
With the total number of Islamist terror plots against the U.S. at 13 in 2015, there were more terror plots in 2015 than any other year since 9/11 and more in 2015 than 2012, 2013, and 2014 combined..."
