(WCJB) A former Gainesville resident is back in the United States and is facing terrorism charges. He was arrested overseas on Friday and arrived in north-central Florida early Sunday morning.
Mohamed Fathy Suliman is charged in a criminal complaint with attempting to provide material support, including personnel (himself) and services, to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Suliman made his first appearance in front of Judge Gary Jones at the federal court in Gainesville. He remains in custody as prosecutors with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida expressed concerns during his first appearance that he is a flight risk and danger to the community. He was shuttled into and out of court in an unmarked van.
