Abdisatar Ahmed Hassan was arrested on February 27 and charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. As the Department of Justice explains:
Hassan attempted to travel from Minnesota to Somalia to join ISIS on two occasions, neither of which were successful. Hassan attempted to disguise the purpose of his travel as visiting family despite having none in Somalia and was traveling with his birth certificate, naturalization certificate, and high school diploma. The FBI’s investigation established that Hassan publicly supported ISIS on social media through multiple posts and communicated with a Facebook account for the Manjaniq Media Center, which encouraged individuals to travel to join ISIS and touts itself as a media organization of the Islamic Caliphate.
As the investigation revealed:
Hassan praised Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the perpetrator of the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Jan. 1. On Feb. 21, Hassan also posted a video of himself driving while holding a small ISIS flag inside the vehicle, as well as another video of himself driving with an open knife on his lap. On Feb. 26, FBI observed Hassan driving while again holding the ISIS flag.
Compare the account of ABC news, which calls Hassan a “Minnesota man” who “allegedly expressed admiration for the truck attack in New Orleans.” The Minnesota truck attack admirer was not alone in his enthusiasm for the Islamic State. As the Associated Press noted, Abelhamid Al-Madioum, 27, was “among several Minnesotans suspected of leaving the U.S. to join the Islamic State group,” their names available at this link.
