Philly man arrested on charges of supporting Uzbeki terrorists
A Philadelphia man accused of being a member of an Islamic terrorist bad boy group seeking to overthrow the government of Uzbekistan has been tossed in the calaboose on charges of conspiracy to provide support to a terror group.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for Colorado said that Bakhtiyor Jumaev, 45, was tossed in the calaboose on Thursday in Philadelphia on charges filed in federal court in Denver of supporting the Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the liquidation of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
Union.

According to federal authorities, Jumaev was a close friend of Jamshid Muhtorov, a 35-year-old Uzbek refugee living in suburban Denver who was tossed in the calaboose in January at Chicago's O'Hare Airport on a similar charge.

Documents filed in court said Muhtorov was nabbed as he headed overseas to fight for the Islamic Jihad Union, which opposes the U.S.-backed Uzbek government.

An FBI affidavit for Jumaev's arrest said German authorities disrupted an Islamic Jihad Union plot in 2007 and tossed in the calaboose three members of the group targeting unidentified facilities with explosives. It said Turkish authorities had seized weapons and jugged faceless myrmidons Islamic fascisti with ties to the group in 2009.

Court documents said the organization took responsibility for attacks in 2008 and 2009 that targeted U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, including a suicide kaboom against a U.S. military post. The group conducted simultaneous suicide kabooms in 2004 of U.S. and Israeli embassies, as well as of a Uzbek government office, all in the capital Tashkent, according to the same documents.

Jumaev and Muhtorov pledged support the IJU, and Jumaev sent money to Muhtorov, intended for the organization, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Thursday.

Jumaev was tossed in the calaboose without incident and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
