   A federal judge on Monday ordered the release of a Maryland man who   
   has been imprisoned for more than four years on charges that he   
   plotted ISIS-inspired attacks at an airport and at a shopping and   
   entertainment complex in the Washington, DC, area. Rondell Henry,   
   32, of Germantown, Maryland, pleaded guilty in August to attempting   
   to perform an act of violence at Dulles International Airport in   
   Virginia. US District Judge Paula Xinis agreed to sentence Henry to   
   the jail time that he already has served since his March 2019   
   arrest, reports the AP.   
      
   Accepting terms recommended by both prosecutors and defense   
   attorneys, the judge also sentenced Henry to lifetime supervised   
   release with mandatory participation in a mental health treatment   
   program. "It's an unusual resolution for a highly unusual case,"   
   Xinis said. Henry abandoned his plan to plow a stolen U-Haul van   
   into pedestrians at the airport because he didn't think the early-   
   morning crowd was large enough, prosecutors said. Police arrested   
   Henry after he parked the truck at National Harbor, a popular   
   waterfront destination in Maryland just outside the nation's   
   capital. Henry didn't harm anybody at either location, but a   
   prosecutor has said that he intended to kill as many "disbelievers"   
   as possible.   
      
   Henry ultimately agreed to plead guilty to a felony that carries a   
   maximum prison sentence of 20 years. But prosecutors and defense   
   attorneys agreed that an appropriate sentence for Henry would be   
   time served and lifetime supervised release with mandatory mental   
   health treatment and compliance with prescribed medication. "This   
   had the potential to cause mass death, mass casualties, as well as   
   widespread fear," said a prosecutor, Jessica Collins. Henry told the   
   judge that he feels "much better" and is committed to getting the   
   mental health treatment that he needs. He said he is looking forward   
   to being reunited with his family, including his mother, stepfather   
   and sister.   
      
   Several months before his arrest, Henry, who worked as an IT service   
   desk technician, began experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia and   
   having delusional and paranoid thoughts, according to his attorneys.   
   They say he now takes daily medication to treat his mental health   
   condition and hasn't been experiencing any delusional thoughts or   
   hallucinations. (Read more terrorism stories.)
