Man arrested at Charlotte airport for lying about contacts with terrorist organizations
From May 2nd, but we missed the story then.
[CNN] A man was tossed in the calaboose
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
 after arriving in North Carolina Tuesday for lying about his contacts with terrorist organizations.

Waqar ul-Hassan, 35, was returning from Pakistain and had gotten off a flight at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Tuesday night when he was arrested on two counts of making false statements in 2015 interviews involving terrorism, according to an FBI criminal complaint.

According to the complaint, the FBI began an investigation into Hassan in 2014 because the organization had information that he was communicating with people involved in terrorist organizations.

Hassan was interviewed by FBI agents and told them in some of those interviews that he did not support any terrorist or bully boy group and did not know anyone who was a member of one, according to the complaint.

In later interviews, he confessed to having lied, the complaint says, and admitted to "extensive contacts" with a recruiter about jihad.

Hassan also admitted to traveling and staying with forces of Evil for two or three days in 2014 and to giving up to $500 to and collecting food and money for a terror organization. The FBI complaint identified the group as Jaish-e-Mohammad
...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat...
 (JeM), an organization the US considers a terrorist group.
Maulana Masood Azhar has been known to enjoy tea partying with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, as well as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP)and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).
After initial denials, Hassan signed a statement acknowledging he also attempted to send money to ISIS "[b]ecause [he] was angry about what was happening to Moslems around the world," but said he ultimately did not because he didn't have a way to get it there, the federal complaint says.

It is unclear why he was not detained in 2015.
Who was president in 2015? Think a bit — it will come to you, dear CNN journalist. It’s good to see the FBI is clearing old cases in the midst of the current brouhaha.
Hassan came to the United States from Pakistain in 1999 and is a naturalized US citizen who maintained his Pak citizenship. In 2016, he left for Pakistain and did not return to the US until Tuesday.
