[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two men have been arrested on accusations of plotting a 'Netflix-worthy' terrorist attack on New York City.
Jaylyn Christopher Molina, of San Antonio, Texas, and Kristopher Sean Matthews, 34, from Eglin, South Carolina, were arrested on Monday - Molina in Texas, Matthews in Tennessee.
The FBI intercepted their communications, according to court documents obtained by KSAT, which showed them planning an attack in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Matthews allegedly suggested it would be better to attack government centers rather than places like 'malls where innocent children are'.
He suggested targeting Trump Tower and the New York Stock Exchange - hoping the sites would give the pair 'rock star status, baby'.
He said he thought a series attacks across the U.S. 'could be Netflix worthy.'
The two men also allegedly discussed the possibility of traveling overseas to join ISIS.
Molina refers to himself as 'Abdur Rahim', according to the criminal complaint, while Matthews calls himself 'Ali Jibreel'.
Both men faces a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, Fox News reported.
Matthews is believed to be the originator of the plot, having last year used an encrypted chat service to find an ISIS supporter outside the U.S. who would help him travel to Syria and recruit additional ISIS supporters.
In April Molina joined the chat, and began communicating with Matthews, soon posting a manual on how to train with an AK-47.
