The article has several paragraphs on this, says he has not been charged but the investigation continues.... investigators have not yet tied him directly to the e-mail exchanges with a jihadist Internet site called Azzam publications, which investigators say was operated by Ahmad ....

fox news reported that he is no longer in the Navy, hence an FBI investigation is ongoing.
