New documents from the Justice Department revealed a Minnesota man has been charged with providing and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.<\/p>\n
The documents claim that Harafa Hussein Abdi, 41, joined and trained with ISIS in Somalia and that he encouraged others to join.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs alleged in the complaint, Abdi, moved from Minnesota to Somalia in 2015,\u201d the Justice Department said in a press release Friday. \u201cOnce there, he joined a group of ISIS fighters at an ISIS training camp in the Puntland region of Somalia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Damian Williams reported that Abdi carried weapons and encouraged others to attack the United States while he was training with ISIS fighters.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbdi allegedly carried an AK-47, threatened to attack civilians in New York City, and encouraged others to carry out such attacks,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n
The Justice Department also said that Abdi uploaded pro-ISIS rap music with lyrics threatening to attack the states.<\/p>\n
\u201cFly through America on our way to shoot New York up. They trying to shut this thing. We ain\u2019t going. We going to come blow New York up,\u201d one of Abdi\u2019s uploads reportedly said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
