Federal authorities said in the affidavit that in late March, Jalloh made his first contact with a source who was working with a now-deceased overseas co-conspirator who was a member of the Islamic State. The overseas co-conspirator encouraged the source to have an in-person meeting with Jalloh, the documents state, and when they did meet on April 9, the FBI was watching.
At that meeting, Jalloh praised Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, who killed five U.S. service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., last year, the documents said. And Jalloh, at one point, suggested that someone known for organizing contests for cartoons of the prophet Muhammad would make a good target.
“You have to pick a action and take it cuz time is not on your side,” he wrote to an ally, according to the affidavit.
According to court documents, Jalloh told the confidential source that he made a six-month visit to Africa last year and met with Islamic State members in Nigeria. Jalloh also told the source that he was interested in traveling to Libya to join the group there.
