A Kentucky man who allegedly joined the Islamic State made his initial court appearance Monday as part of a federal case that accuses him of assisting the group, prosecutors say.
The man, Mirsad Hariz Adem Ramic, 31, of Bowling Green, is charged with providing material support and conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. He is also charged with receiving military training from such a foe.
A federal court in Kentucky unsealed the indictment Monday, the Justice Department said in a statement. Ramic attended fighter training, in which he fired an AK-47, relocated to Raqqa, Syria, and used an anti-aircraft weapon"to shoot at planes," prosecutors alleged in the Justice Department's statement.
The FBI has photos of Ramic in Islamic State group territory, prosecutors said. At least one features him in camouflage, standing in front of an Islamic State group-marked pickup truck that was carrying an anti-aircraft gun, according to the Justice Department statement.One of the co-conspirators had twice emailed Western Kentucky University to say Ramic had traveled to Syria and joined the Islamic State group and now wanted its fighters to"conquer" the U.S.
