- Prosecutors said Naser became radicalized online in his early 20s, posted Salafi-jihadist content online, traveled to Iraq in 2012 with Russell Dennison, “an aspiring Salafi-Jihadist preacher,” and twice tried to leave the United States to join fighters in Syria, according to the Department of Justice.
