Mohammed Khalifa, who was born in Saudi Arabia, was captured during a firefight in January 2019 by Kurdish-dominated Syrian forces allied with the United States.
He allegedly served as a lead translator in Islamic State propaganda production and as the English-speaking narrator on two violent recruitment videos. The Canadian government said it was in contact with local authorities on the matter and that its federal police were aware "that he will be facing charges" in the United States.
According to the indictment, Khalifa's "primary focus" was "enticing ISIS supporters to travel to ISIS-controlled areas to join ISIS or to conduct attacks in the West, including in the United States."The jihadist group, classified as a terrorist organization by US authorities, is responsible for a wave of deadly attacks in Western countries.
This is the first known indictment of a foreign IS fighter in America since President Joe Biden took power in January.
Are the talking about Ted cruize, I think he’s one of those Canadians🤔
Some members of Congress and the US media blame Saudi Arabia for arresting those who post violent propaganda tweets or videos, but they ignore the US government, which is doing the same.
