(CHICAGO) Federal authorities in Chicago have indicted a California man who flew from Chicago to Turkey as he plotted to join terrorists overseas and mused he is “eager to see blood.”
Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, of Sacramento has already been charged in California with lying about international terrorism. An indictment was filed against him in Chicago Thursday for attempting to provide material support to acts of violence overseas, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
The Palestinian born in Iraq has pleaded not guilty in California. He came to the U.S. as an Iraqi refugee in October 2012, according to federal prosecutors. He lived in Arizona and Wisconsin between October 2012 and November 2013, communicating over social media with people about his plans to fight for terrorists in Syria.
He flew from Chicago to Turkey on Nov. 9, 2013, the feds say.
