Federal prosecutors claim that Sebastian Gregerson, aka Abdurrahman Bin Mikaayl, who is accused of plotting to use grenades to kill people and wage violent jihad on behalf of the Islamic State, has links to a group of like-minded supporters in Maryland, The Detroit News reports.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit makes the allegation Thursday in a court filing opposing a defense request to free Gregerson before trial.
Robert Snell of The News writes:
The filing is the first time prosecutors have alleged publicly that Gregerson was part of a broader group of Islamic State supporters. Gregerson, 30, allegedly told an undercover FBI agent that he was amassing a weapons arsenal — including grenades, AK-47s, handguns, rifles, a shotgun and thousands of rounds of ammunition — and wanted to arm like-minded Islamic State supporters in a fight against “infidels.”
“You know because, believe me, if, if the crap hits the fan I'm going to be calling some brothers and tell them to get their butts up here,” Gregerson allegedly told the undercover FBI agent.
