FBI agents arrested two N.C. State students — Dylan Boyd, 22, and Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, a 22-year-old sophomore in sociology — along with five other men charged with supporting terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder abroad on Monday.
The indictment, unsealed in a Raleigh federal court Monday, named Boyd’s father, Daniel, as the leader of the group. The indictment also said that the group traveled to Israel and Pakistan and they believed the men meant to carry out “violent jihad,” but returned after their efforts were unsuccessful.
The men are scheduled to appear again in court on Thursday.
