(Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) A federal grand jury indicted a 21-year-old Syrian refugee on charges he concocted plans to blow up a Pittsburgh church in the name of the terrorist organization ISIS, according to court records unsealed Thursday.
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, who lived with his family in Northview Heights, has been in federal custody since June 19 when he was charged by complaint with one count of attempting to provide support to ISIS and two counts of distributing information relating to an explosive device.
The indictment differs from the complaint in that it is a finding by a grand jury that there is probable cause for the charges listed in the complaint.
