General Info:
Jaylyn Molina (also known as Abdur Rahim) from Gonzales County is arrested by the FBI in San Antonio for providing support to Islamic State and discussed carrying out attacks in the United States and overseas on behalf of the terrorist group.
He faces a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
FBI officials became aware that Molina joined the same encrypted chat around April, and within weeks, he was using it to post manuals on how to train with an AK-47 riffle.
Molina also used social media platforms, some public, to radicalize and recruit other online users to join the Islamic State.
He wrote that America was his enemy and posted an extremely graphic photo collage of an American citizen being murdered by Islamic State terrorists.
Molina posted images in the encrypted chat that provided bomb-making instructions, the criminal complaint states.
He also told covert employees in the encrypted chat that they could use a “multi wave attack strategy” to carry out the attacks.
