ISIS American recruiter, Rahatul Ashikim Khan, 23, of Round Rock, Texas was arrested at his home and charged with “conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.”
On June 20, 2014, the FBI reported: Rahatul Khan “(a.k.a. ‘Rahat Khan,’ ‘AuthenticTauheed19,’ and ‘AT19’), age 23 of Round Rock, Texas, is charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists in violation of Title 18 USC Section 2339A. From March 2011 to January 2012, Khan allegedly conspired with others to recruit persons to travel overseas to support terrorist activities, including committing violent jihad.”
A complaint said Khan “conspired with others to recruit persons to travel overseas to support terrorist activities including committing violent jihad” during a period from early 2011 to January 2012.
The U.S. Department of Justice reported that:
“On July 2, 2014, Khan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. The conspiracy occurred between March 2011 and January 2012. During this time frame, Khan identified an individual in an Internet chatroom and began assessing that individual for overseas violent jihadist travel. That individual was actually an FBI confidential source. After Khan screened the confidential source, he made arrangements to insert him into an al-Shabaab pipeline controlled by Gufran Ahmed Kauser Mohammed and Mohamed Hussen Said. Mohammed and Said both pleaded guilty to material support offenses in the Southern District of Florida and have been sentenced to terms of 180 months’ imprisonment respectively.”
“According to court records, Khan also led a group of individuals in the Austin area who pledged loyalty to the now-deceased Taliban and terrorist leader, Mullah Omar. Michael Todd Wolfe, 24, was a part of Khan’s group. Wolfe was arrested by FBI agents on June 17, 2014, in Houston, as he was about to board a plane as a first step towards his goal of joining and fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Wolfe was sentenced to 82 months in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIL.”
” ‘Rahatul Khan conspired to provide material support to terrorists by screening and recruiting potential foreign fighters located in the United States to wage violent jihad in various locations overseas, including Somalia,’ said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. ‘The National Security Division’s highest priority is counterterrorism and we will continue to pursue justice against those who seek to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations.’ ”
ISIS American terrorist recruiter Rahatul Ashikim Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
On September 25, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice reported: “In Austin this afternoon, 24-year-old self-proclaimed ‘jihadi’ Rahatul Ashikim Khan (a.k.a. ‘Rahat Khan,’ ‘Authentic Tauheed 19,’ and ‘AT19’) was sentenced to ten years in federal prison followed by ten years of supervised release for attempting to provide material support and resources to terrorists, announced John Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, Richard L.
