WILLIAMSPORT — The inmate who stabbed an Allenwood Federal Penitentiary corrections officer in the eye in 2020 continues to profess his allegiance to the ISIS foreign terrorist organization, the government claims.

Evidence will be presented at the scheduled November trial of Abdulrahman el Bahnasawy that he was and is “a dedicated believer in terrorist ideology,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur stated Monday in federal court filing.

Bahnasawy is accused of stabbing Dale Franquet Jr. in the eye with a 14.5-inch-long shank on Dec. 7, 2020, and assaulting a female corrections officer who came to his aid.
