Fox 5 is in alexandria a man arrested. As part of an terror investigation, hes accused of planning to shoot up a military the latest of a string of arrest in Northern Virginia of men suspected of wanting to help isis, alexandria lamone. Reporter this is just following fbi terrorism investigations. We want to be clear, wa helly is not facing terrorism charges, hes facing weapons charges. In federal court, an fbi agent testified that wa helly made statements recorded by the fbi saying he either wanted to join isil or carry out an act of domestic terrorism. 25yearold was facing charges for drummonding for machine guns across state line in exchange for 300. But wa heelly is a felon not supposed to to be around guns and the undercover fbi agents. We cant put you on the flight. Im like well, ok, whats going on. Reporter thats his brother, yaha. Both brothers were retained in cairo after three named ended up on the no fly list. The brothers were eventually able to return to their home in virginia but in federal court wednesday, the fbi said yosef told undercover agents he wanted to travel back to the middle east to libia to join isil. If he couldnt do that, he plans to pretend to join the military and open fire on a military recruitment center. Currently, hes only facing charges for transporting the machine gun. Of but in other terrorism investigations, ten men have been arrested and charged with attempting to help isis, all from Northern Virginia. Eight of the arrests happened in the past year or these are concerning numbers, especially when taking into account the entire state of maryland, there has only been one recent case linked to isil. Though none of those numbers tell the entire story. If we can disrupt someone from committing an attack or failing to join isis and dont have evidence to charge them with a crime of terrorism per se, but theres other crimes, well use that to disrupt them. Reporter now, despite the high number of terrorism linked case that is we are seeing out of Northern Virginia, the fbi washington feel office clarifies them to believe theres any type of terrorism cell or hub, they say these cases are completely unrelated and sent me a statement that says, in part, quote, because of the National Significance of washington, dc and the vast number of potential geographic and human targets, Northern Virginia and the surrounding area are likely to continue to experice of individuals who have provided Material Support to designated terrorists organizations. Now, going back to wa heellys this case that led transportation of a weapons across state lines, actually happened had the beginning of 2016. However, the fbi did not immediately arrest him. They said they continued to minority him constantly and they didnt arrest him until last week, when the fbi says. What heelly purchased a plane ticket to minneapolis, and they then took him into custody. Folks sitting at on her hearing ten men from the Northern Virginia area arrested with links to isil. Even though they say there is no cell or anything like that, its got to make you wonder how do they explain this then . Reporter well, it is concerning, and those cases are just isilrelated ones. Were not even talking about cases related to al qaeda or other terrorist groups and again, the Fbis Washington Field Office says they think its simple because of the proximity of Northern Virginia to dc. However, it doesnt completely explain it because maryland, for example is also close to washington, dc and theyre not seeing those kind of numbers. But that is the explanation we got from the fbi.
