JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Homegrown terror is a possibility and reality for every corner of our country.
Action News was the first to show a picture of Abror Habibov, the suspected Islamic State group moneyman in a plot to kill President Barack Obama.
Habibov was arrested in Jacksonville while two accomplices were arrested in New York.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is teaming up with the Department of Homeland Security to provide a website to help the community recognize and stop terrorists before they strike.

For those living and working in Jacksonville, learning about and reporting suspicious activity can now be done online.
“It seems like the future. Everything's on the Internet now,” said Jay Hagley, a neighbor.
The website, iwatchjax.com, is a tool to teach people what behaviors and actions they should be aware of when trying to prevent terrorism in Jacksonville. Things like a briefcase or suspicious items left behind in public places or cars and trucks in no parking zones and people drawing or measuring important buildings should warrant attention.
“I actually have called before on suspicious activity here in the neighborhood, so I would use it -- just (to) cut down on having to sit on hold or talk to someone,” Spencer said.

All information that is reported through iWatch will remain confidential. Investigators will go over that information and decide if any action needs to be taken.
“It can't hurt anything that the public can help with. Reporting suspicious activity is never a bad idea,” said Ashley Mishoe, a neighbor.
The site provides a way to help catch suspects like Habibov. He’s locked up in the Baker County Jail and will have his next court hearing on Tuesday.
Habibov was arrested for threats of attacks on U.S. soil. Those are the type of threats people can now report online to prevent an attack.
Baker, Clay, Nassau and St John’s counties are also taking part in the iWatch program.
