A New Jersey man arrested after trying to butcher his family's dog sought to become a martyr for ISIS by blowing himself up with a pressure cooker bomb in Manhattan, federal authorities charged Friday. Gregory Lepsky, 20, of Point Pleasant, was charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIS. “During searches of computers and other digital evidence linked to Lepsky, law enforcement found evidence of Lepsky’s plan to build and detonate a bomb as part of his support for ISIS,” federal prosecutors charged. According to the complaint, law enforcement also turned up a series of step-by-step instructions from Al Qaeda's Inspire magazine on how to build a pressure cooker bomb. “I linked up with some guy I met on a chat website and he wants me to become Muslim and join ISIS,” Lepsky wrote in a text.
