A suburban Cleveland man has been indicted on a charge of providing material support to the Islamic State group.
A 28-count indictment was filed Thursday against 38-year-old Amir Said Rahman Al-Ghazi, of Sheffield Lake. Authorities say he was arrested June 19 after he tried to buy an assault rifle from an undercover FBI agent. 25 counts against him are related to his alleged sales of marijuana. Authorities say Al-Ghazi, who changed his name from Robert McCollum, pledged his support to the Islamic State group online and tried to recruit others to join the cause. A criminal complaint detailed how those potential recruits were sources working for the FBI.
