Matthew 24:10 & 11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."
Three New York residents have been arrested in connection with support and attempts to join ISIS.
The three men, two with Uzebkistan citizenship and the other Kazakhstan, wanted to “wage jihad” and one said he would attempt to kill the President if he was ordered to do so by ISIS leadership.
The men were identified in the complaint as Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Uzbekistan; Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Kazakhstan; and Abror Habibov, 30, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Uzbekistan.
The men were focused upon by federal authorities after making online statements supporting ISIS and calling for others to join with them to support ISIS. They also posted online in foreign message boards attempting to recruit new ISIS members.
One was arrested at JFK Airport trying to board a plane to Turkey. The other two men had place tickets for travel to the region within the next month.
The group also had plans to conduct domestic terror attacks if they could not make it to join ISIS in Syria.
“We will vigorously prosecute those who attempt to travel to Syria to wage violent jihad on behalf of ISIL and those who support them,” U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch said in a statement. “Anyone who threatens our citizens and our allies, here or abroad, will face the full force of American justice.”
