AW1Ed sends us a link to the story <\/a>of Nelash Mohamed Das, from Bangladesh, but living in Hyattsville, Maryland, right outside our nation’s capitol. The feds have charged him with providing material support to ISIS and planning to kill a member of the US military.<\/p>\n

“The danger posed by Mr. Das during this investigation was very real. He was committed to carrying out an attack against a military member,” said Special Agent in Charge Gordon B. Johnson of the FBI’s Baltimore Division. “Through our proactive investigative stance, we were able to ensure the citizens of Maryland were protected. The covert nature of the defendant’s alleged actions is a stark reminder of the challenges we face in preventing attacks, and underscores the critical need for those with knowledge about terror plots to come forward.”<\/p>\n

According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Das was admitted to the United States in 1995 and is a legal permanent resident.<\/p>\n

The affidavit alleges that from September 28, 2015 to early 2016, Das used social media to express his support for ISIL, including support for terrorist attacks in Paris, France, and San Bernardino, California.<\/p>\n

On October 26, 2015, Das tweeted the name of an individual and the city where they lived, stating that the individual “aspires to kill Muslims.” Das knew that the individual hoped to become a member of the U.S. military. ISIL members and supporters have posted identifying information about United States military personnel in hopes that those inspired by ISIL would carry out attacks against them. The affidavit alleges that Das was advertising the individual’s identity and whereabouts in order to inspire violence against that individual. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Das shared his plan with a federal informant who helped him buy inert weapons from the Feds. Then they arrested him. Luckily. This fighting terrorism with law enforcement works well. Except when it doesn’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
