Akron Ohio man arrested for soliciting murder of US servicemen
AKRON, Ohio -- The FBI on Thursday arrested an Akron man on a terrorism-related charge, as agents say he solicited the killing of members of the military in the name of an Islamic terrorist group.
Terrence McNeil, 25, is charged with one count of solicitation of a crime of violence.
McNeil, according to U.S. Attorney's Office, supported the Islamic State, a terrorist organization also known as ISIL.
(To read the complaint filed against him, scroll to the bottom of the original story.)
He is accused of uploading a file on Sept. 24 to a Tumblr account that showed photos, addresses and military branch of people believed to be members of the military. One of the slides in the file reads:
"O Brothers in America, know that the jihad against the crusaders is not limited to the lands of the Khilafah, it is a world-wide jihad and their war is not just a war against the Islamic State, it is a war against Islam...Know that it is wajib (translated to "necessary") for you to kill these kuffar! and now we have made it easy for you by giving you addresses, all you need to do is take the final step, so what are you waiting for? Kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe..."
The final image in the file shows a photo of a handgun and a knife with a note that says "and kill them wherever you find them ..." according to prosecutors. The file then loops several dozen photographs, believed to be of U.S. military personnel, along with their respective name, address and military branch.
The final image looped is a picture of a handgun and a knife with text that reads "...and kill them wherever you find them..."
