加利福尼亚州一名男子周五承认企图向指定恐怖组织提供物质支持罪，此前他曾向“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织（ISIS）效忠，并密谋杀害一名他怀疑是以色列国防军士兵的男子。
A California man pleaded guilty on Friday to attempting to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist organization (ISIS) and plotting to kill a man he suspected to be an IDF soldier.
根据针对34岁的阿马德·阿克塔尔（Ammaad Akhtar）的刑事指控书，2025年2月至2025年6月期间，阿克塔尔企图向“伊斯兰国”提供资金、武器和装备。从2025年2月开始，阿克塔尔开始与他认为是“伊斯兰国”成员的人通讯，并讨论了想要出国与“伊斯兰国”并肩作战的愿望、拥有多支枪支、计划袭击一名他以为是以色列国防军士兵的男子，以及利用自制炸药实施恐怖袭击的计划。
According to a criminal complaint against 34-year-old Ammaad Akhtar, between February 2025 and June 2025 Akhtar attempted to provide funds, weapons, and equipment to ISIS. Starting in February 2025, Akhtar began communicating with what he believed to be a member of ISIS and discussed a desire to travel overseas to fight with ISIS, ownership of multiple firearms, plans to attack a man he believed to be an IDF soldier, and a plan to commit a terrorist attack using homemade explosives.
阿克塔尔实际通讯的对象是一名联邦调查局（FBI）控制人员，这是联邦调查局特工为调查目的而创建并维护的虚假身份。
Akhtar was actually communicating with an FBI Controlled Persona, which is a fake identity created and maintained by FBI agents for investigative purposes.
在阿克塔尔与该人员长达数月的通讯过程中，他多次美化圣战，表达对“伊斯兰国”恐怖分子的崇敬，表示希望加入该恐怖组织，并称祈祷能找到方法消灭不信奉伊斯兰教的人。“美国有很多穆斯林太害怕谈论圣战了，”阿克塔尔于2025年3月13日对该人员说。“我不太喜欢跟他们待在一起，因为他们从来不想组建团队去殴打卡菲尔（异教徒）。”
Akhtar glorified violent jihad, prayed to destroy infidels Throughout Akhtar's months-long communications with the persona, he repeatedly glorified jihad, expressed admiration for ISIS terrorists, stated that he wished to join the terrorist group, and said that he prayed to find ways to destroy those who do not believe in Islam. “A lot of Muslims in America are too scared to talk about jihad,” Akhtar told the persona on March 13, 2025. “I don't like being around them too much because they don't ever want to form a group to go and beat up the kafir (infidels).”Akhtar also owned three firearms and a knife, which he sent pictures of to the persona.
阿克塔尔还拥有三支枪和一把刀，并将这些武器的照片发送给了该人员。他告诉该人员，他经常随身携带刀和枪，以便在与非信徒发生“冲突”时随时做好准备。2025年4月，阿克塔尔开始讨论袭击一名他以为是以色列国防军士兵的犹太男子的计划。
He told the persona that he regularly carried the knife and a gun on his person so he could be ready in case he ever engaged in “conflict” with a non-believer. In April, 2025, Akhtar began discussing plans to attack a Jewish man he believed to be an IDF soldier.
4月3日，他告诉该人员，他曾开车路过一座犹太教堂，注意到一名他之前在周六曾多次在犹太教堂周围见过的男子。
On April 3, he told the persona that he had driven by a synagogue and noticed a man he had previously seen around the synagogue on Saturdays.
阿赫塔尔表示，他跟踪该男子以查明其住址，并询问该人设一旦找到住所，他能做些什么来“处理”这名犹太男子。他告诉该人设，他所在地区犯罪率很高，他正考虑在一个看起来像随机袭击的地方杀害这名犹太男子。根据刑事起诉书，联邦调查局对犹太教堂的进一步调查表明，这名犹太男子似乎并非以色列国防军士兵。
Akhtar stated that he followed the man to find out where the man lives and asked the persona what he could do to “handle” the Jewish man once he located the home. He told the persona that there is a lot of crime in his area and that he was thinking of killing the Jewish man in a place where it would seem like a random attack. According to the criminal complaint, further FBI investigation into the synagogue indicated that the Jewish man does not appear to be an IDF soldier.
阿赫塔尔在被捕前开始策划恐怖袭击2025年5月，阿赫塔尔透露，他已开始制定计划，意图在一个人员密集的活动中实施恐怖袭击。他说，他计划乔装成非信徒，混入他们举办的活动并假装是其中一员，但他告诉该人设，他“需要一些关于如何制造炸弹的帮助”，并附带了一个爆炸表情符号。他向该人设询问如何制造爆炸装置的信息，并表示尚未选定袭击目标，但会想办法确定一个。
Akhtar started planning terrorist attack before being arrestedIn May 2025, Akhtar shared that he had started making plans to carry out a terrorist attack at a populated event. He said he planned to infiltrate an event run by non-believers by dressing like them and pretending to be one of them, but told the persona he “needs some help in how to make a boom,” and accompanied the message with an explosion emoji. He asked the persona for information on how to make an explosive device and stated that he had not yet chosen a target for the attack but would figure one out.
2025年6月23日，阿赫塔尔与一名他以为隶属于“伊斯兰国”（ISIS）的联邦调查局卧底特工见面。会面期间，阿赫塔尔给了该特工一副望远镜、400美元现金、两把上膛的枪支和六个弹匣的弹药。
On June 23, 2025, Akhtar met in person with an undercover FBI agent he believed to be affiliated with ISIS. During the meeting, Akhtar gave the agent binoculars, $400 cash, two loaded guns, and six magazines of ammunition.
阿赫塔尔次日被拘留，并被指控试图向指定外国恐怖组织提供物质支持，他在周五对此表示认罪。他定于2027年2月宣判，最高面临20年监禁和25万美元罚款。
Akhtar was detained the next day and charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, which he pleaded guilty to on Friday. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February 2027 and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison with a $250,000 fine.
