QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested on Tuesday a man from Detroit charged with supporting the Islamic State group (ISIS).
Jibreel Pratt, 25, from Detroit, a major metropolitan of the state of Michigan, was arrested charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, U.S. Attorney Dawn N. Ison announced.
Ison said Pratt was charged with two counts of attempting to provide currency and monetary instruments to ISIS in March and May 2023, respectively.
