Prison for Michigan Man Sought to Join Hizbullah, Fight in Syria
A Detroit-area man accused of trying to travel to the Middle East to fight in Syria's civil war has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Mohammad Hamdan has been in custody for nearly three years and will get credit for that time. He was sentenced Wednesday, about four months after pleading guilty to making false statements to agents.
The government says the 24-year-old Hamdan wanted to join Hizbullah that is classified by the U.S. as a terrorist organization.
He was arrested in 2014 prior to boarding a flight at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Hamdan is a native of Lebanon. He says he won't oppose an effort to deport him there after his prison sentence.

always the secular progressive atheist shia fundamentalist follower of wilayat al faqih who comes to the rescue of the sectarian terror militia.

If you're a US citizen, you should be alarmed at how Congress delegated authority to the State Department to legislate: by putting people on its terrorist list.
