Two Iraqi nationals living in Bowling Green, Ky., have been indicted on terrorism-related charges, U.S. Attorney David J. Hale, of the Western District of Kentucky, announced Tuesday in a news release.

Waad Ramadan Alwan, 30, and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 23, were charged in a 23-count indictment that alleges that, among other things, Alwan was involved in numerous improvised-explosive device attacks against U.S. troops and that Hammadi conspired to support terrorists.

Neither is charged with plotting attacks within the U.S., according to the release.

“With these arrests, which are the culmination of extraordinary investigative work by law enforcement and intelligence officials,” said Todd Hinen, the acting assistant Attorney General for National Security, “the support provided by these individuals comes to an end and they will face justice.”
