FBI agents in Texas have arrested Seth Aaron Bendley for an alleged plot to bomb the Amazon data center in Virginia with the aim of destroying the Internet.

The Justice Department said in a press release that Bendaly said he planned to attack web servers believed to have provided services to the FBI, CIA and other federal agencies.

He added that he "hopes to bring down the" minority rule "currently in power in the United States."

Federal authorities learned of the Pandali plot after a friend of his had warned - according to the Department of Justice - that Pandali had been active on MyMilitia.com, a website where extremists converged for social networking and conspiracy, where Feds say he boasted of his plans.

The Ministry of Justice said, "A person used the application an identifier on himself as Dionysus, and was planning to conduct a small experiment that he said would raise a lot of heat and could be dangerous."

In another post, Dionysus said, "I am not a stupid suicide bomber."

The Justice Ministry said that investigators quickly discovered that Dionysus was Pandali, and began searching for his messages on social media.

"In private messages, he claims that he told his friends that although he did not actually enter the Capitol building, he reached the podium, passing a piece of glass from a broken window and interacting with the police," the ministry added.

He added that he brought a gun to the capital, but he left the weapon in his car while entering the Capitol.

According to the Justice Department, Bendaly began talking about his plans with an undercover FBI informant on the Signal app in late January.

"The source told the FBI that Mr. Bendali stated that he plans to use C-4 plastic explosives to attack the data centers of prominent technology companies, in an attempt to stop about 70% of internet traffic," the ministry said.

If the court finds Bendali guilty, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

"We would like to thank the FBI for their work on this investigation," an AWS spokesperson told Motherboard in an email.

"We take the safety and security of our employees and customer data incredibly seriously, and we constantly review various factors for any potential threats," he added.

Data centers and other parts of the Internet's physical infrastructure are being guarded around the world.
