Syed Haris Ahmed, a 21-year-old student at Georgia Tech has been charged with providing material support to a terror group.

He was arresting last month and indicted today on the charges.

Ahmed told his family that authorities found a video on the Internet and apparently traced it to him. The video was of a building and was perhaps made during a trip with friends. Ahmed’s family members said they did not know the location of the building or when the tape was made.

WAGA-TV reported that the station’s sources say the FBI believes Ahmed traveled to Pakistan last year to attend a terrorist training camp. His family acknowledged that he traveled to Pakistan, but they said he was merely attending a religious school. The report cannot be independently verified.

In a separate case that may be related, a 19-year-old Roswell man was arrested Monday in Bangladesh. Ehsanul Islam Sadequee was arrested by Bengali authorities after at least eight months of federal investigation of him and his family, his sister, Sharmin Sadequee, said Thursday.

Sadequee’s sister reports that a young man matching Ahmed’s description had contacted her brother in the past.

Apparently, they attended the same mosque in the Atlanta area.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think we are kidding ourselves if we think we are not vulnerable to acts of jihad in our country.

The jihadists don’t have to come here from anywhere. They are already here.
