(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) An Upper St. Clair man allegedly spent months traveling through Lebanon and Syria last year attempting to join Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militant group in Lebanon.
Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, is accused of trying to aid a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist group and making false statements to the FBI.
In a federal complaint against Mr. Molloy — previously an active-duty member of the U.S. military — investigators wrote that he spent much of August, September and October traveling throughout the Middle East, namely Lebanon and Syria.
He was questioned by federal agents upon his return to Pittsburgh International Airport late Oct. 20.
