Ibrahim Suleiman Adnan Adam Harun, also known as “Spin Ghul,” was today charged in New York by a grand jury with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to bomb American diplomatic facilities in Nigeria, as well as providing material support to al-Qaeda.
Harun was born in Saudi Arabia but claims Nigerian citizenship, according to court documents.
The charges allege that Harun went to war against US-led forces that invaded Afghanistan in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks after receiving “military-type training at al-Qaeda training camps,”
After an alleged accomplice was detained in 2005, Harun left Nigeria, spending several years in custody in Libya, then after his 2011 release attempting to gain entrance to Italy aboard a ship filled with immigrants.
It was then that he fell into the hands of Western authorities following an altercation with Italian authorities on the refugee ship, the prosecutor’s office said.
