a New Jersey man was arrested this morning and charged with material support for terrorism.
Investigators said Saleh Elahwel, of Matawan, was taken into custody by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task force at his home. Elahwel is expected to be arraigned in federal court this afternoon.
U.S attorney Michael Garcia is expected to announce that Elahwel is a second man to be charged in connection with helping a Hezbollah television station reach viewers here in the U.S.
The Hezbollah station — Al Manar — has been designated a terrorist entity by the U.S. government, and the State Department lists Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
