Man Indicted for Allegedly Attempting to Establish an ISIS Outpost in New Mexico

The Department of Justice has indicted a New Mexico man for allegedly attempting to provide material support to ISIS. 

According to a grand jury, Herman Leyvoune Wilson, a.k.a Bilal Mu'Min Abdullah, 45, of Albuquerque, attempted to establish an "Islamic State Center" in New Mexico. 

The center was established to "teach ISIS ideology, provide training in tactical maneuvers and martial arts, and serve as a haven for individuals preparing to travel and fight on behalf of ISIS in the United States and abroad."

The document says that from May 2019 to September 2020, Wilson started an online platform to recruit "like-minded individuals" to join the center, and he used the platform to promote ISIS ideology and discuss terrorist attacks in the United States and overseas.
