CHICAGO—A terrorism suspect arrested in Chicago will be sent to his home state of Colorado to face legal proceedings.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Randall Samborn, says Jamshid Muhtorov made a brief court appearance Monday morning in Chicago and waived his rights to further hearings in the northern Illinois district.
Judge Morton Denlow then ordered the 35-year-old man’s transfer to Denver.
Samborn couldn’t say when the Aurora, Colo., man’s transfer would take place.
The FBI arrested Muhtorov on Saturday at O’Hare International Airport on terrorism charges after he was accused of planning to travel overseas to fight for the Islamic Jihad Union.
The FBI says the refugee from Uzbekistan was indicted on a charge of providing and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
