A former National Guard soldier has been charged with plotting to help the Islamic State group and contemplating a Fort Hood-style attack against the U.S. military.
Mohamed Jalloh, 26, of Sterling, made a brief initial appearance Tuesday afternoon in federal court in Alexandria. A judge ordered Jalloh held without bond pending a detention hearing next week.
His lawyer, Ashraf Nubani, declined comment.
Jalloh told a government informant he quit the Army National Guard after hearing lectures from radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, according to an FBI affidavit. Cotton Puryear, a spokesman for the Virginia Army National Guard, said Jalloh served as a specialist from 2009 until 2015, when he was honorably discharged.
A court affidavit spells out a three-month sting operation in which Jalloh said he was thinking about carrying out an attack similar to the 2009 shootings at Fort Hood, which left 13 people dead. Authorities say the sting operation began after Jalloh made contact on his own with Islamic State members in Africa earlier this year.
Jalloh's case is the most recent of several in which men from the northern Virginia area just outside Washington have been charged with attempting to support the Islamic State group.
Court records indicate the FBI saw Jalloh buying an assault rifle Saturday at a gun shop in Chantilly. The affidavit does not say if authorities believe Jalloh planned to use the rifle himself or bought it on behalf of an informant. He was arrested Sunday.
Jalloh's sister, Fatmatu Jalloh, said in a brief telephone interview that she is serving as one of her brother's attorneys. She said she had not yet seen the unsealed charges but denied he would be helping the Islamic State group.
Jalloh is identified in the affidavit as a naturalized U.S. citizen from Sierra Leone.

Mohamed Jalloh, that’s an unusual name for an Amish male.
Where is the Orlando shooters wife?
People named mohammud shouldn’t be allowed to join the military
I wonder what in the world could have tipped anybody off that there might be a problem...
“Where is the Orlando shooters wife?”
Aba dabie dobo bobo, probably
Muz in our military. Could we possibly be more stupid?
How long until some uneducated redneck jumps to the wholly unjustified inference that the planning had something to do with Islam and terrorism, just because of the odd coincidence that someone named Mohamed planned to kill a bunch of innocent people. /s
Mohamed Jalloh—enough said.
Is this infiltration of our military a new thing? Seems to be.
I started my Army career in 1979 and I never, EVER had anyone serving with me that was a Muslim. We had a few Biker Chicks (washed out, tattoos and all, LOL!) and a few from the Virgin Islands, a guy from Sri Lanka, blacks and whites from all over the USA, very few Hispanics, but otherwise no female or male Islamists that I remember.
Any other Vets care to share?
Hasan should have been eaten by pigs live, on Youtube.
THAT would have been a deterrent.
Instead, his protectors now run the Pentagon.
Mohammed, huh? Who would have thought? After all the Muslims have done to make America great! (/s)
Please do not insult military muzzies.
Dorkbama the Muslim Dick will send his Muslim generals to get you.
Until civil war II.
Comey is still looking for the last shooter's wife. Maybe she got erased, like with a cloth? I wonder when Comey will hold a presser about how much progress they are making tracking the little she-hadi down.
It’s like we’re living in the movie Breaker Morant. Learning nothing, trusting the wrong people, setting up rules that cause chaos, destruction and death.
All muzzies OUT of the armed forces.
My son’s company had a number of Moslem men soldiers and they were invaluable in defusing confrontations with Iraqi citizens during the early stages of the war in 2003. They spoke the language and helped explain the US mission, thus ending the suspicions of the mobs.
My son said they did a great job and prevented violence.
This unit, the 299th Army Engineers, MRB (Bridge), won two presidential citations, one for their for their operations against the Republican Guard by putting up the first ribbon bridge in combat (over the Euphrates River at Hindaya), which led the way for lighter armor and wheeled vehicles to head to Baghdad while the heavier Abrams tanks used the stronger, captured concrete bridge taken by a combined force from the 299th and the 54th Combat Engineers, April 3, 2003.
Let’s not smear the good moslems we have in our military. They are as American as you and me and should be acknowledged for their service.
It is the sickos that should have been picked up on early (Major Hassan) but we could not because of Political Correctness and the Obama rot that is permeating our military and all sectors of our society.

Wasn’t smearing anyone. Just wondering when the CURRENT infiltration started...Thanks, 0bama!
