AP NewsBreak: NC terror suspect may be in Pakistan


Press Writer – 3 mins ago
RALEIGH, N.C. – Federal authorities searched overseas Tuesday for a U.S. citizen charged with plotting "violent jihad" as part of a North Carolina-based group of aspiring international terrorists.

Authorities think the eighth suspect is in Pakistan, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding declined to discuss the suspect's whereabouts but said the public should not be worried.

"Federal authorities hope to have him apprehended shortly," Holding said. Holding wouldn't identify the person, and the defendant's name is redacted from court papers.

The indictment said the person went to Pakistan in October to "engage in violent jihad."

Investigators arrested seven men involved in the group Monday, accusing them of military-style training at home and plotting terror attacks abroad. The men purchased several weapons over the past year, and in June and July, three of them went to private land in north-central North Carolina to practice "military tactics," according to the indictment.

"It's clear from the indictment that the overt acts in the conspiracy were escalating," Holding said.
