COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Federal court records unsealed Thursday reveal that Abdirahaman Sheik Mohamud, 25, of Columbus, pleaded guilty to multiple charges in a terrorism case.

Mohamud was charged in 2015 after a federal investigation found that he had received terrorism training in Syria and returned to the United States to carry out an act of terror.

Newly unsealed court documents show that Mohamud pled guilty in August 2015 to charges of providing material support to terrorists and a terrorist organization and a charge of lying to the FBI. The guilty plea was kept under seal while investigators continued to investigate.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said Mohamud was getting closer to carrying out his plot.

“He had recruited and was actively engaged in a conspiracy to kidnap some officials,” O’Brien said.

Evidence in the case showed that Mohamud’s plot was to obtain weapons in order to kidnap and kill military officers execution style.

Mohamud was born in Somalia and came to the United States at the age of two. He attended Whitehall schools and became a naturalized citizen in 2014.

“Stopping foreign fighters who support terrorists and those who want to do harm in the United States is a top priority of the Department,” said Ben Glassman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. “If you see something, say something is the best advice for the public who want to help combat terrorism.”

Mohamud is expected to be sentenced on the federal charges later this summer.
