The Arrest
On Saturday, July 7, twin brothers from South Africa, Brandon-Lee Thulsie and Tony-Lee Thulsie, were arrested for planning attacks on the U.S. embassy and other Jewish institutions. The brothers, each twenty-three years of age, were apparently planning on joining ISIS following their attacks. Two other coconspirators were arrested as well. At the time of the arrest, police found stockpiles of ammunition and grenades in one suspect’s home. The elite police unit, known as the Hawks, that conducted the arrest confiscated the suspects’ computers and mobile phones.
