The FBI has launched a terror probe into a weekend stabbing in Virginia — which may have been an ISIS-inspired beheading attempt, according to a report.

Wasil Farooqui of Roanoke County allegedly stabbed a man and a woman with a knife Saturday evening as they were entering an apartment building in Roanoke, police said.

Authorities believe Farooqui, 20, may have been trying to decapitate the male victim, whom he likely targeted at random at The Pines Apartments, sources told ABC News.

He shouted “Allahu akbar” — Arabic for “God is great” — during the assault, but was fought off by the man, officials said.

He was arrested later when he sought treatment at the same hospital where the victims were taken, the Washington Post reported.

“Both were attacked with a knife and severely injured,” Roanoke police said in a statement about the victims, who identified the suspect to cops.

The victims were identified as Karih Rezai and Taramati Harold, The Roanoke Times reported.

The feds have had Farrooqui on their radar for a while, ABC News reported. He has traveled to Turkey in the past year and may also have tried to enter Syria, where ISIS is recruiting jihadists, the network reported.

CNN did not report this story. The top headlines were all about Donald Trump (in a negative light).
