[Jpost] U.S. prosecutors have charged a New York man with fighting for the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, a 42-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Kazakhstan, was charged with providing material support to the terrorist organization, including providing training to terrorist soldiers and attempting to recruit personnel.

, from his home in New York's Brooklyn borough in December 2013 and then to Syria, where he joined Islamic State and rose through the ranks as a sniper and then as a weapons instructor, according to charging documents.
Prosecutors said Asainov was detained by the Syrian Democratic Forces and was transferred into FBI custody.
The charges filed against Asainov were based in part on his regular communication between August 2014 and March 2015 with a confidential informant working for the New York Police Department. According to the complaint, Asainov attempted to recruit the informant to work for Islamic State's media operations and asked that he send about $2,800 for military equipment.
Islamic State has grabbed credit for several attacks against Americans in the United States and abroad.
From 1998 to 2013, Asainov lived in Brooklyn.
According to Asainov’s neighbor in Brooklyn, he was married to Alexandra and had a younger daughter. Alexandra later moved to England alone.
The neighbour told New York Post "They were a nice married couple. She got pregnant, I was very happy for her. They had a baby girl. She was adorable. She was very nice, a typical American girl. She worked in retail. He was polite but aloof. At first, he was normal, but then he grew a beard. She said they were arguing before, he was drinking, then she said he stopped and everything was good between them."
Interesting that his American wife and child went off to England without him, given he encouraged others to bring their entire families including grandmothers to live in the ISIS caliphate.
And Scoop Nest answers an unasked question, as well as offering a different photo from a time when he was younger and better groomed: |
