Andy11M sends us a link to the Associated Press<\/a> which reports that six Bosnians were arrested on Friday for their material support to ISIS;<\/p>\n

The indictment unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis alleges they plotted by phone, Facebook and email; shared videos and photos related to their plans on social media sites; sent money via PayPal and Western Union; and shipped boxes of military gear through the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n

The defendants are accused of donating money themselves and, in some cases, collecting funds from others in the U.S. and sending the donations overseas. It says two of the defendants, a husband and wife in St. Louis, used some of the money to buy U.S. military uniforms, firearms accessories, tactical gear and other equipment from local businesses and ship it to intermediaries in Turkey and Saudi Arabia who forwarded the supplies to fighters in Syria and Iraq.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the people charged was 34-year-old, Mediha Medy Salkicevic, a mother of four living in Chicago. <\/p>\n

The other co-defendants, all Bosnian immigrants, were charged in Missouri, where they purchased military equipment from surplus stores, according to the indictment. Salkicevic will likely soon be sent to St. Louis, where she was indicted.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy began no later than May 2013, with Salkicevic using email, phones and social media websites such as Facebook to communicate using code words like \u201cbrothers,\u201d lions\u201d and \u201cBosnian brothers,\u201d according to the indictment.<\/p>\n

Salkicevic transferred money on multiple occasions to co-defendant Ramiz Zijad Hodzic in St. Louis, which was sent to fighters in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Payments were made via PayPal and Western Union, according to the indictment. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
