Feds Arrest 'Emir' of an ISIS-Related Recruitment Effort in Minnesota
By MIKE LEVINE Dec 10, 2015, 9:44 AM ET
Federal authorities have arrested a Minnesota man for allegedly leading an effort inside the United States to send others to join ISIS in Syria.
Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame was arrested Wednesday night and charged with one count of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization.
He is among at least 10 youth from Minnesota who allegedly began planning to join ISIS more than a year ago. Nine have now been arrested, and one -- 18-year-old Abdi Nir -- made it to Syria, where since May 2014 he has been recruiting and assisting others inside the United States to join ISIS, authorities said.
Warsame’s arrest comes several months after a round of arrests in the case.
