Three U.S. Men Arrested in ISIS Support Plot, DOJ Says
Federal prosecutors say the men gave more than $2,000 to a person they believed was an ISIS member and discussed drone attacks on U.S. troops.
- Federal authorities arrested Bisaam Ghafoor of Leawood, Kansas, Elias Shamsaldeen of Porterville, California, and Bereen Dzayee of Lakeside, California, on Friday for allegedly supporting ISIS; FBI Director Kash Patel stated investigators stopped a potential terrorist threat.
- The Justice Department alleges the three suspects conspired by providing more than $2,000 to an individual they believed was an ISIS member, communicating via Discord to pledge allegiance to the organization.
- Investigators allege Shamsaldeen wanted to stab service members and provided funds for drones, while Dzayee suggested targeting Special Forces; Ghafoor allegedly stated it would be "sick" if his name appeared on a drone.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the arrests demonstrate the administration's commitment to taking down terrorist networks; Attorney Ryan Kriegshauser added the case reminds the public that terrorist threats can emerge from within the United States.
- The three suspects are charged with conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, Fox News reported, as federal officials confirmed law enforcement disrupted the plot before any Americans were harmed.
