The FBI this morning raided a home in Lackawanna and arrested 44-year-old Arafat Nagi, who is accused of attempting to join ISIS and pledge allegiance to the terrorist organization.
US Attorney William Hochul says, in two separate trips, Nagi traveled from Lackawanna to Turkey, and bought items including military combat gear such as night vision goggles and black flags which are sometimes associated with ISIS.
Nagi’s home is one block away from a home where two members of the Lackawanna Six lived. They were a group of six men who traveled to Afghanistan before the 9/11 attacks for terrorist training.
