...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... turban group in Syria and serving as a weapons trainer, according to court documents unsealed on Friday. Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, a 42-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Kazakhstan, was charged with providing material support to the terrorist organization, including providing training to terrorist soldiers and attempting to recruit personnel. Asainov traveled to Istanbul, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , from his home in New York's Brooklyn borough in December 2013 and then to Syria, where he joined Islamic State and rose through the ranks as a sniper and then as a weapons instructor, according to charging documents. Prosecutors said Asainov was detained by the Syrian Democratic Forces and was transferred into FBI custody. The charges filed against Asainov were based in part on his regular communication between August 2014 and March 2015 with a confidential informant working for the New York Police Department. According to the complaint, Asainov attempted to recruit the informant to work for Islamic State's media operations and asked that he send about $2,800 for military equipment. Islamic State has grabbed credit for several attacks against Americans in the United States and abroad.
The neighbour told New York Post "They were a nice married couple. She got pregnant, I was very happy for her. They had a baby girl. She was adorable. She was very nice, a typical American girl. She worked in retail. He was polite but aloof. At first, he was normal, but then he grew a beard. She said they were arguing before, he was drinking, then she said he stopped and everything was good between them."
