| Feds Say Ohio Man Tried to Join Islamic State to Wage Jihad |
| 2016-11-08 |
| [ABCNEWS.GO] An Ohio man accused of trying to join the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group was tossed in the clink Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! Monday while attempting to fly to Libya, federal authorities said. Aaron Daniels, 20, was taken into custody at John Glenn Columbus International Airport after a monthslong investigation, said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman. A criminal complaint alleges Daniels told an undercover informant about his interest in traveling overseas to commit jihad. The complaint says Daniels wired $250 in January to a Beirut intermediary for now-deceased Islamic State recruiter and attacks planner Abu Isa al-Amriki. The complaint said at various times Daniels, who went by the aliases Harun Muhammad and Abu Yusuf, expressed interest in traveling to Afghanistan and Syria to wage war before settling on Libya. In June, Daniels told the undercover informant he wanted to go to Islamic State territory in Libya "so I could support the jihad there," according to the complaint. Investigators acted when they saw Daniels preparing to fly to Libya via Houston and Trinidad, said Glassman. "Any time you are providing material support in the form of money or especially as a traveler, someone who's going to go fight on behalf of ISIS is a very serious threat," Glassman said, referring to the Islamic State group by the acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... Daniels made an initial appearance in federal court wearing ankle and wrist chains. He was read his rights but wasn't required to enter a plea. His court-appointed attorney declined to comment. |
