Rasheedul Mowla, a U.S. citizen, has pleaded guilty in federal court for attempting to provide support to ISIS. In June 2017, he traveled to Saudi Arabia, intending to join ISIS in Syria. He acknowledged his awareness of ISIS's terrorist actions and was apprehended before he could enter Syria and was subsequently deported to the U.S. Authorities emphasized that he was willing to commit violence for the group and highlighted the importance of counter-terrorism efforts in thwarting such threats.
"Mowla sought to join a violent foreign terrorist organization that has conducted and inspired terrorist attacks worldwide, killing numerous innocent victims, including American citizens."
"Rasheedul Mowla wasn't just planning to join ISIS - he was ready to kill and die for them. That kind of threat demands a swift response, and we won't let our guard down."
