A former marine has been arrested by the FBI on suspicion of planning a terror attack in San Francisco over Christmas.<\/p>\n

Everitt Aaron Jameson, 25, was held after allegedly discussing the plot with undercover FBI agents.<\/p>\n

Criminal documents allege he planned to target the Pier 39 area, popular with tourists in the city.<\/p>\n

Authorities say firearms, a will and a letter claiming the attack were found during a search of his home.<\/p>\n

The FBI criminal complaint says that Mr Jameson\u2019s letter made reference to Donald Trump\u2019s decision to designate Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.<\/p>\n

They say Mr Jameson came to their attention in September after expressing \u201cradical jihadi beliefs\u201d and support of so-called Islamic State through social media use.<\/p>\n

The FBI complaint said he had expressed his support of attacks, including the October 31 truck attack in New York.<\/p>\n

Mr Jameson allegedly named the San Francisco\u2019s Pier 39 as a target, an area popular for its restaurants, shops and resident sea lions, because \u201che had been there before and knew that it was a heavily crowded area\u201d.<\/p>\n
