The FBI announced Friday it had arrested a man for allegedly planning a Christmas Day terror attack in San Francisco.

The suspect, Everitt Aaron Jameson, planned to target Pier 39, a popular tourist spot in the city, to inflict mass casualties, according to the criminal complaint.

Jameson “espoused radical jihadi beliefs” and intended to carry out the attack in support of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), authorities allege.

He is accused of providing “material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.”
