Man in US court on charges he helped terrorists plot attack in his native Uzbekistan
BOISE, Idaho – An Uzbekistan national living in Idaho is in federal court in Boise on charges he conspired with a terrorist group on a scheme to use a weapon of mass destruction in his home country.
Federal agents raided the Boise apartment of 30-year-old Fazliddin Kurbanov Thursday after a grand jury issued a three-count indictment accusing him of federal terrorism charges.
The indictment alleges Kurbanov gave money, computer software and other resources to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan — a designated foreign terrorist group.
Kurbanov has a short, cropped beard with short dark hair and wearing a white and yellow stripped jail jumpsuit. He’s seated next to a public defender.
A separate federal grand jury indictment accuses him of taking part in terrorist activity in Utah earlier this year.
