General Info:
Naser Almadaoji is a Southwest Ohio man accused of trying to travel to Afghanistan in order to join the Islamic State terrorist group.

Almadaoji bought a plane ticket on Oct. 24, 2018, in attempt to travel to Afghanistan. He was arrested after checking in and obtaining his boarding pass, prosecutors say.

He told an individual posing as an Islamic State supporter online about his proposed plot to start a conflict in the United States between the federal government and anti-government militias.

In August 2018, Almadaoji told the purported Islamic State supporter that he was always willing to assist with “projects” in the US, according to prosecutors.

Almadaoji recorded and sent a video of himself wearing a headscarf and pledging allegiance to the leader of Islamic State.

He reportedly planned to travel to Astana, Kazahkstan, then get smuggled into Afghanistan so that he could join and receive military training from Islamic State-Khorasan.

Almadaoji said he wanted “weapons experts training, planning and executing, hit and run, capturing high-value targets, ways to break into homes and avoid security guards. That type of training.”

He had traveled to Egypt and Jordan in February 2018 hoping to join an Islamic State affiliate in the Sinai Peninsula, ISIS Wilayat Sinai, but he was unsuccessful.

In addition, Almadaoji translated a purported Islamic State document from Arabic to English and he told his contact – whom Almadaoji believed to be part of Islamic State.
