Nagi could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Nagi was charged, but it’s unclear what became of those charges. He stayed for 10 days in Instanbul before making his way to Yemen. He said specifically that he does not support terrorist organizations. Officers responding to the call later found a knife in Nagi’s vehicle.
His next trip, in August 2014, lasted almost two months, according to the DOJ.
Before the trips, authorities say he purchased numerous items of military combat gear, including body armor, night vision goggles and a tactical vest.
He also allegedly posted several pro-ISIL tweets on his Twitter account. One said having the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the neighborhood is mad and scary, because it’s a quiet neighborhood. One person News 4 spoke to said, “I’m confused”.
The FBI informant reported that Nagi told him of future plans to travel overseas again, in hopes of finally making his way to Syria and ISIS.
Nagi was unable to officially join ISIS on either occasion. The U.S. Attorney’s Office argued he is a danger to the community and a flight risk.
