Ontario Man Stabbed U.S. Corrections Officers While Serving Prison Sentence for Foiled ISIS Attack: DOJ
The sentence runs consecutive to a 40-year term for plotting ISIS attacks in New York City, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, a federal judge sentenced Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, 28, to an additional 50 years in prison for a 2020 attack on two correctional officers at USP Allenwood in Pennsylvania.
- Shouting "Allahu Akbar," Bahnasawy attacked the guards with a 14.5-inch metal shank fashioned from his cell desk, leaving notes declaring the assault a "terrorist attack for the Islamic State."
- Correctional officer Dale Franquet was permanently blinded in his right eye from the attack. Judge Matthew Brann ordered $3 million in restitution to Franquet, while a second officer, Harvey, was stabbed in the hand but fully recovered.
- Defense attorney Andy Frisch argued the stabbing was a "psychotic episode" caused by untreated schizophrenia, while prosecutors maintained it was a calculated act of terror requiring maximum deterrence.
- Already serving 40 years for a foiled New York City terror plot, Bahnasawy remains in maximum-security custody in Florence, Colorado. Should he ever be released, he faces three years of supervised release requiring mental health treatment.
