加州斯托克顿男子阿赫塔尔承认企图向「伊斯兰国」提供物资支持:曾交出两支上膛枪支并宣誓效忠,面临最高20年监禁

美国司法部10月30日宣布,加利福尼亚州男子 Ammaad Akhtar(34岁)当天承认一项企图向被列名的外国恐怖组织提供物资支持的罪名。Akhtar 是斯托克顿(Stockton)居民,案件由加州东区联邦检察官办公室起诉。
据法庭文件,2025年2月至6月间,Akhtar 企图向「伊斯兰国」(ISIS)提供资金、武器和其他装备。他在网上与一名卧底警员联络,以为对方是 ISIS 成员;在交谈中,他表达对 ISIS 与「圣战」的支持,称想前往海外加入 ISIS 作战,并表示要向 ISIS 输送枪支和资金。
2025年4月,Akhtar 在调查期间多次向对方提供资金;对方称已用这笔钱为 ISIS 购得数支枪后,Akhtar 回应「愿真主毁灭我们的敌人」,并称当天会再汇款。他还谈及策划暴力行动,包括袭击一名特定个人,以及用自制爆炸物在人群聚集的活动上制造爆炸,并向对方索要自制爆炸装置的制作方法。
2025年6月23日,Akhtar 与一名他以为是 ISIS 关联人员的人见面,对方实际是卧底特工。他交出衣物、望远镜、400美元现金、两支上了膛的枪和六个备用弹匣,随后向 ISIS 宣誓效忠(bayat)。他于同日被捕并被起诉。
Akhtar 定于2027年2月26日判刑,面临最高20年监禁和25万美元罚款;实际刑期将由联邦地区法院法官在考虑量刑指南等因素后裁定。此案由联邦调查局纽约与萨克拉门托外地办公室及纽约市警察局调查,加州东区助理联邦检察官 Elliot Wong、Charles Campbell 与司法部国家安全司反恐科审判律师 Ryan D. White 负责起诉。
California Man Ammaad Akhtar Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 30 that Ammaad Akhtar, 34, of Stockton, California, pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
According to court documents, between February and June 2025, Akhtar attempted to provide funds, weapons, and other equipment to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). He communicated online with an undercover officer he believed was a member of ISIS, voicing support for ISIS and jihad, a desire to travel overseas to fight with ISIS, and a desire to send guns and money.
In April 2025, Akhtar provided funding on multiple occasions. After the undercover officer indicated ISIS had procured several guns with the money, Akhtar responded, "May Allah destroy our enemies," and said he would send more money that same day. He also discussed planning violent attacks, including against a specific individual and using homemade explosives at a populated event, and asked for instructions on making an explosive device.
On June 23, 2025, Akhtar met with an individual he believed was an ISIS associate but who was actually an undercover agent. He provided clothing, binoculars, $400 in cash, two loaded guns, and six additional magazines, then swore bayat, a pledge of loyalty, to ISIS. He was arrested and charged the same day.
Akhtar is scheduled to be sentenced on February 26, 2027. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The FBI's New York and Sacramento Field Offices and the New York City Police Department conducted the investigation.
