Dearborn man captured in Syria charged in terror case
2018-07-26
[DETROITNEWS] A Dearborn man captured on an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
battlefield this month was charged in an unsealed indictment Tuesday with providing material support to the Islamic State.

The portrayal is at odds with a description provided by his family. Musaibli is no terrorist but was lured by fellow Muslims into coming to Syria to study religion and work, younger brother Abdullah Musaibli said last week. Really.
The indictment, dated July 19, was unsealed five days after it was reported that Ibraheem Musaibli, 28, was taken into custody by coalition-backed forces this month while trying to flee the Middle Euphrates River Valley in northern Syria, according to the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, which first reported his capture.
The article about his capture can be seen here.
He is believed to be one of only two male Americans captured alive on an Islamic State battlefield and his case presents one of the first times the Trump administration is using federal courts to prosecute a returning foreign fighter.

Musaibli arrived in the Indiana on Tuesday and was transferred to face charges in U.S. District Court in bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
, where he faces arraignment Wednesday.

The indictment accuses Musaibli of providing support to ISIS since April 2015. ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization. He used several aliases, including Abu Shifa Musaibli and Abu ’Abd al-Rahman al-Yemeni, according to the government.

"The National Security Division will not tolerate threats to our country from terrorist organizations like ISIS ‐ not least of all those that come from our own citizens," John Demers, assistant attorney general of national security, said in a statement. "Musaibli’s alleged provision of material support to ISIS put the United States at risk and may have endangered the lives of countless innocent people. I am confident that he will face justice for his crimes, and I hope that his case sends a clear message that we will hold our citizens accountable who are apprehended overseas and tried to join a terrorist organization such as ISIS."

The portrayal is at odds with a description provided by his family. Musaibli is no terrorist but was lured by fellow Moslems into coming to Syria to study religion and work, younger brother Abdullah Musaibli said last week.

#1  Simpler idea: Rendition. He was captured in Syria, ship him back to the tender mercy of Assad's Regime for their justice disposal.
