Usaamah Rahim, 26, (^ top) was fatally shot on Tuesday after waving a military knife at law enforcement officers in Boston. Rahim was being monitored by anit-terrorism surveillance and was approached by police after making threatening comments and posts to associates.
David Wright (^ bottom) is an associate of Rahim who was arrested following the shooting. He is charged with obstruction for trying to delete texts from Rahim's phone.
Rahim, a security guard who officials believe was radicalized by ISIS and other extremists, decided to target the "boys in blue", according to court documents.
"I can't wait that long," he said of the original Geller beheading plan, according to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court in Boston.
Geller drew national attention last month after an off-duty police officer working security thwarted an attack at her organization's contest for Prophet Mohammed drawings in Garland, Texas. She's president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which includes subsidiary programs Stop Islamization of America and Stop Islamization of Nations.

Geller ^ said, "They targeted me for violating Sharia blasphemy laws. They mean to kill everyone who doesn't do their bidding and abide by their law voluntarily. This is a showdown for American freedom. Will we stand against this savagery or bow down to them and silence ourselves?"
Geller said that she's had an "army of security" since last month's Texas incident. "This is what is required just to show a cartoon in America, 2015," she said. "It's striking. It's devastating, and people need to understand what's at stake. I mean, if we surrender on this point, what will we surrender next?"
