(WIS) An Elgin man has been named in FBI documents regarding an investigation into a conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
This criminal complaint, from the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, names Elgin resident Kristopher Sean Matthews who investigators say has also called himself “Ali Jibreel.” Jaylyn Molina, who lives in Texas, is also named in these documents.
Officials say that around May 2019 an online chat group was created where someone could only become a member if they were invited in, following vetting by Matthews or another trusted member.
They say the vetting was to assure, among other things, that the admitted members supported the ideology of ISIS.
