Former NJ Resident Charged With Conspiracy And Providing Support To Terror Group
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Federal officials have arrested a former New Jersey man who is accused of plotting to support terror groups.
Twenty-year-old Nader Saadeh was charged Monday with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, a designated foreign terrorist organization. The former Rutherford resident was due to appear later Monday in U.S. District Court in Newark, and it wasn't known if he's retained an attorney.
Saadeh's arrest comes just weeks after authorities arrested his 23-year-old brother, Alaa, and another man on similar charges. The arrests stem from an ongoing FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation of several people in New York and New Jersey who have allegedly conspired to provide material support to the terror groups.
Authorities have said Nader Saadeh traveled to the Middle East in May to join the Islamic State. He could face several decades in prison if convicted.
