Michigan man convicted for trying to support ISIS, possessing ‘destructive device'
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Another Michigan man has been convicted for trying to provide support the Islamic State militant group. Aws Mohammed Naser, a 37-year-old from Westland, was convicted following a five-week trial in federal court. He was convicted of attempting to provide material support for a foreign terrorist organization and for being a felon in possession of a destructive device. Prosecutors claim Naser tried to travel and fight for the , also known as ISIS, but was turned away. So instead, he gathered drones and built a bomb in his basement. 19-year-old accused of working for ISIS, plotting attack at Michigan military base Jerome Gorgon Jr., the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, said Naser's actions made it clear he is a threat to the country. '(Naser) is a bombmaker and self-avowed 'son of the Islamic State' — a vicious foreign terrorist organization hell-bent on murdering Americans and destroying our way of life,' . 'Our office is dedicated to finding and applying the full force of the law against any terrorist, like Naser, plotting to harm Americans.' Prosecutors say Naser was radicalized years ago and posted 'extreme' content on his YouTube channel. He traveled to Iraq in 2012 and returned to the U.S. months later. He was set to head back to Iraq in January 2013 but was arrested and charged for robbing a gas station, resulting in prison time. When he was released from prison, he could no longer travel to join ISIS. 'Naser surreptitiously created social media accounts and joined invitation-only ISIS supporters' chatrooms, groups and private rooms where he obtained and viewed official ISIS media reports, publications and other jihadi propaganda,' Gorgon stated. 'In October 2017, FBI searched Naser's home and vehicle and recovered a readily 'assembleable' destructive device.' US says it broke up effort to bring toxic fungus to Michigan lab from China Naser faces up to 35 years in prison for the two charges. His conviction happened less than a month after another person from Michigan was arrested for planning an attack on a Michigan military base in support of ISIS. Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, on two federal charges for plotting an attack on the Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command facility in Warren. He allegedly bought armor-piercing ammo and magazines for the attack, used a drone to conduct 'recon' work over the facility and trained undercover employees how to use firearms and make Molotov cocktails.
