Two Middle East Refugees Charged In Separate Terror Cases | The Investigative Project on Terrorism

Two men who entered the United States as refugees have been charged separately with attempting to provide material support to terrorist groups in Syria.
Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, a Palestinian born in Iraq who came to the United States from Syria in 2012, is accused in a criminal complaint with lying to immigration authorities about a trip he took to Syria to fight alongside jihadi groups. Those groups include Ansar al-Islam, a U.S. designated terrorist organization that was founded by Mullah Krekar in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2001.
