Two men, including a San Jose resident, have been indicted on charges they provided support to terrorists in the Philippines, the Department of Justice announced this afternoon. Zulkifli Abdhir - aka "Zulkifli Bin Abdul Hir," aka "Hulagu," aka "Marwan" - was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and providing material support to terrorists. He is a fugitive and is believed to be in the Philippines, according to the DOJ.
Abdhir's brother, San Jose resident Rahmat Abdhir, was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, providing material to terrorists, contributing goods and services to a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (his brother), and false statements. He is aka "Sean Kasem," and "Sean Kalimin."
Rahmat Abdhir, 43, is a U.S. citizen. He was arrested this morning in Sunnyvale, outside of where he works.
The indictment alleges Zulkifli Abdhir and Rahmat Abdhir communicated with one another between the United States and Philippines, often in code. Zulkifli Abdhir, an alleged member of the Jemaah Islamiyah militant Islamic group, engaged in battles with Philippine troops and has evaded capture.
Rahmat Abdhir allegedly sent his brother money and accessories for firearms, Insignia two-way radios, backpacks, and knives.
In September 2003, the U.S. government designated Zulkifli Abdhir as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
