General Info:
Mirsad Hariz Adem Ramic is a dual US-Bosnian citizen who is accused of travelling to Syria to join an Islamic State training camp.
Ramic has been charged in a US federal court with providing material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) after being deported back to the United States.
He was also charged with receiving military-type training from the Islamic State terrorist group.
Ramic and two co-conspirators each left the United States for Istanbul, Turkey in order to support the Islamic State in 2014.
All three then purchased tickets to fly to the Turkish city of Gaziantep near the border with Syria.
From there, it is alleged they crossed the border to join the Islamic State terrorist group.
After joining, Ramic allegedly attended an Islamic State training camp where he received weapons and physical training and fired an AK-47.
The FBI obtained photos of Ramic in Islamic State territory which depict him wearing camouflage clothing and standing in front of a pickup truck outfitted with an anti-aircraft gun and the Islamic State flag.
After joining the militant group, Ramic and his co-conspirators remained in contact with each other and discussed, among other things, Ramic’s presence in Raqqa, Syria, and his use of an anti-aircraft weapon to shoot at planes.
It was also reported one of the co-conspirators had twice emailed Western Kentucky University to say Ramic had traveled to Syria and joined the Islamic State terrorist group and now wanted its fighters to ‘conquer’ the United States.
If convicted of the charged offenses, Ramic faces a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison, a fine of $750,000 and term of supervised release up to life.
