Washington - An alleged would-be terrorist was arrested on his way to what he believed would be an attack on the US Capitol Friday, broadcasters reported.
The man of Moroccan descent believed he would be conducting a suicide attack on the Washington landmark, but had actually been caught in an FBI sting operation, Fox News reported.
Agents posing as al-Qaeda members had provided him with fake explosives that they claim he intended to set off at the Capitol.
