BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. federal prosecutors have charged two men with providing material support to terrorists and other crimes, including conspiracy to kill in a foreign country and lying to law enforcement officers.
Additional charges were made against Tarek Mehanna, 27, of Sudbury, Massachusetts, who was charged on October 21 of conspiracy to provide support to terrorists, the U.S. Justice Department said in a news release.
Ahmad Abousamra, 28, who currently resides in Syria, was also charged in Wednesday's 10-count indictment. Abousamra was named, but not charged, in October's filing.
Mehanna is in federal custody awaiting a probable cause hearing in Boston on November 12.
