(Sacramento Bee) A federal grand jury in Sacramento has indicted a Russian national on charges of attempting to provide material support to a Syrian organization the U.S. State Department has labeled as a foreign terrorist organization.
Murat Kurashev, a Sacramento resident who is believed to be from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, was arrested by FBI agents on a charge that between last July and February he attempted to provide “material support or resources” to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
HTS also is known as the “Organization for the Liberation of the Levant,” according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
