Bowling Green man arrested on multiple terrorism charges
A Bowling Green man has been indicted on charges of providing material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
A news release from the U.S. Department of Justice said Mirsad Hariz Adem Ramic, 31, of Bowling Green, is charged with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and receiving military-type training from ISIS.
Court documents said that on June 3, 2014, Ramic and two co-conspirators left the United States for Istanbul, Turkey, to support ISIS. All three then purchased tickets with cash to fly to Gaziantep, Turkey, a city located near the border with Syria. From there, Ramic and the two co-conspirators crossed the Syrian border to join ISIS, according to the DOJ.
Ramic then allegedly attended an ISIS training camp, where he received weapons and training. The FBI obtained photographs of Ramic in ISIS territory that depict him wearing camouflage clothing and standing in front of a pickup truck outfitted with an anti-aircraft gun and the ISIS flag. A second photograph of Ramic depicts him holding a rifle, according to the DOJ.
