On Thursday, Fareed Mumuni pleaded guilty to charges that he planned to aid the terrorist organization and tried to kill a federal agent searching his Staten Island house.
His co-defendant Munther Omar Saleh is expected to plead guilty Friday to plotting for the terrorist organization, prosecutors say.
Mumuni, 22, planned to go overseas and fight for ISIS. He also planned to build a pressure cooker bomb with Saleh, according to the government. Federal authorities say the two were part of a six-person ring including New Jersey residents scheming for ISIS, which has wreaked havoc in its Middle East strongholds and beyond.
Authorities apprehended Saleh and Mumuni in June 2015. They took in Saleh after he and a teenager charged with knives at a federal agent tailing them. Mumuni’s attempted attack happened days later. The agent he targeted wore body armor, protecting him from Mumuni’s kitchen knife.
Staring at up to 85 years in prison, Mumuni calmly and briefly responded to Brooklyn Federal Judge Margo Brodie’s questions Thursday on whether he knew what he was doing by pleading guilty.
He said he “knowingly and intentionally” sought to provide material support and resources to ISIS.
At one point, the judge asked about the charge of attempted murder connected to the search at his home. Brodie asked Mumuni if he intended to kill with his lunge. “Yes, your honor,” replied Mumuni, wearing a tan prison uniform and a kufi.

Mumuni, court documents say, “espouses violent jihadist beliefs.” He allegedly told authorities that he had pledged allegiance to ISIS and that if he failed to join the group in the Mideast, he planned to attack law enforcement.
As usual, the media is mum on his immigration status and nationality – not to mention the M-word.
illegal ?
Put the dude in isolation forever. As calm as he is, I’m guessing he’s got a plan and that plan is probably to spend the rest of his miserable life recruiting from inside prisons - a walking martyr.
The north shore is saturated with obama’s sons and daughters.
One side of the highway is mostly Italian and the other side is all obama.
Night and day in an 10 minute drive.
Let’s just hope they don’t put him in front of one of the hundreds of judges (at all levels) who now openly decide cases based on Sharia law. Obama signed an executive order allowing federal judges to declare their allegiance to Sharia. In states run by Dumbocrats officials don’t legally sanction it, but they turn a blind eye—in the name of “tolerance,” of course.
I don’t know...what I do know is his name is Fareed Mumuni, he’s 2, black, and lived on Staten Island.
Where was he from and why was he let into this country? This is a very incomplete story as written, so we suspect the information doesn’t fit the Democrat lie that all “immigrants” are legal green card carrying benefits to our society.
And he’s not even one of the 24 on Trump’s list from banned countries.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat ...
Every last one of them must be flushed out.
