Summary

Three U.S. citizens, ages 21, 21, and 25, were arrested Friday on allegations they funneled money to ISIS to support attacks on American servicemembers. Federal authorities charged Bisaam Ghafoor of Kansas, Elias Shamsaldeen of California, and Bereen Dzayee of California with conspiracy. The Department of Justice characterized their alleged conduct as a betrayal of America. The arrests cap an investigation into a financing scheme that prosecutors say directly enabled violence against U.S. military personnel.
