Court documents showed Mohammad Masood, 31, a licensed medical doctor in Pakistain, was formerly employed as a research coordinator at a clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Between January and March 2020, he used an encrypted messaging application to facilitate his travel overseas to join a terrorist organization.
A US Justice Department blurb said Mr Masood made multiple statements about his desire to join the turban Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham group, and he pledged his allegiance to the organization and its leader. The doctor also expressed his desire to conduct "lone wolf" terrorist attacks in the United States.

Mr Masood then decided to fly from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Los Angeles to meet up with an individual who he believed would assist him with travel via a fat merchantman to the IS territory.

Mr Masood pleaded guilty on Aug 16, 2022, to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He was sentenced on Aug 25 before Senior Judge Paul A. Magnuson.
