Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Authorities arrested two refugees -- one in Sacramento and one in Houston -- Thursday on terror-related charges, according to the Department of Justice. Sacramento resident Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab was arrested on charges of making a false statement involving international terrorism, according to the Department of Justice. The 23-year-old allegedly traveled overseas to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lied to U.S. authorities about his activities, Assistant Attorney General Carlin said in a release. .. When Al-Jayab was interviewed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Oct. 6, 2014, he denied that he had ever been a member of any rebel group or militia; had ever provided material support for any person or group engaged in terrorist activity; and that he had been a member of a group, or assisted in a group, which used or threatened the use of weapons against others. Al-Jayab also allegedly stated that he visited Syria to visit his grandmother, the complaint said, which alleges that all of the statements he made were false. If convicted, Al-Jayab faces eight years in prison and a $250,000 fine. There is no current threat to public safety associated with this arrest, said the spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office. .. Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, a Palestinian national born in Iraq, allegedly attempted to provide material support and resources to ISIS, according to a criminal complaint. Al Hardan came to the U.S. in November 2009 from Iraq as a refugee and was granted permanent legal status in August 2011. During his interview to become a naturalized citizen in Texas on Aug. 14, 2014, he stated he was not in any way associated with a terrorist organization and that he had never received any weapons training, which was not true, the complaint said. The complaint said that he was associated with ISIL through 2014 and the al-Nusrah Front in 2013 and 2014.
