(WOOD) A Michigan man has pleaded guilty to conspiracy after he was accused of helping his cousin try to leave the country to join the Islamic State group.
Mohamed Haji, from Lansing, pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the United States Attorney’s Office [for the] Western District of Michigan said in a Wednesday release.
Haji’s cousin, Muse Abdikadir Muse, was arrested in 2019 at the Gerald R. Ford airport when he was trying to fly to Mogadishu, Somalia, in order to join the Islamic State, the release said.
Haji and his other cousin, Mohamud Muse, were later arrested as co-conspirators.
