Seven individuals were charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and conspiring to commit murder abroad. Daniel Boyd, the alleged leader, received military training in terrorist camps in the late 1980s and early 1990s and attempted to travel to conflict areas to engage in violent jihad in 2006 and 2007. The defendants are accused of raising money, obtaining weapons, and offering to help arrange travel for others to wage violent jihad overseas between 2006 and 2009. They were arrested by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in North Carolina.
