Farekh\u2019s initial appearance is scheduled today before United States Magistrate Judge Viktor V. Pohorelsky. Farekh was deported from Pakistan to the United States and arrested pursuant to the pending warrant.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; John P. Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; Diego G. Rodriguez, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), New York Field Office; and William J. Bratton, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As alleged in the complaint, Farekh conspired with others to provide material support to terrorists and specifically to provide personnel to be used in support of efforts to kill American citizens and members of the U.S. military abroad. In approximately 2007, Farekh, an individual named Ferid Imam, and a third co-conspirator departed Canada for Pakistan with the intention of fighting against American forces. They did not inform their families of their plan before departing, but called a friend in Canada upon arrival to let him know that he should not expect to hear from them again because they intended to become martyrs. According to public testimony in previous EDNY criminal trials, in approximately September 2008, Ferid Imam provided weapons and other military-type training at an al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan to three individuals \u2013 Najibullah Zazi, Zarein Ahmedzay, and Adis Medunjanin \u2013 who intended to return to the United States to conduct a suicide attack on the New York City subway system. Zazi and Ahmedzay pleaded guilty pursuant to cooperation agreements and have yet to be sentenced; Medunjanin was convicted after trial and sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMuhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh is alleged to have conspired with others to provide material support to terrorists,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. \u201cCounterterrorism is the highest priority of the National Security Division, and we will continue to be tireless in our pursuit of those who wish to harm the United States or its people. I would like to thank the many agents, analysts, and prosecutors who are responsible for the charges in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAl Farekh allegedly provided material support to terrorists with every intention of becoming a martyr. Today, members of our military are safer because of the relentless investigative work by the FBI\u2019s Manhattan-based Joint Terrorism Task Force,\u201d said FBI Assistant Director in Charge Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A complaint and arrest warrant were unsealed today in federal court in the Eastern District of New York charging Muhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, an American citizen, with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
