22-year-old Christopher Lee Cornell shouted, “Allah is in control, not this judge!” as he was led from U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith’s courtroom on Monday to begin serving his 30-year prison sentence for a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol in the name of the Islamic State.
Cornell was arrested in January 2015 for planning to shoot up the Capitol building during President Obama’s State of the Union address. The FBI moved in after he purchased two semi-automatic rifles and 600 rounds of ammunition at a Cincinnati gun shop. He was also planning to use pipe bombs for his Islamic State-inspired attack.
