The list was provided to Aziz by a well-known Daesh leader, who urged followers to kill and behead service members in their homes or stab them to death as they walked down the street, according to the release.
According to FBI Task Force Officer Jeffrey Gruppo, who filed the criminal case against Aziz two years ago, the convicted terrorist had been supporting Daesh online since July of 2014. At the time, he was living with his parents at 1733 Fulton Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at one point writing to the former president: "we are coming to America and know that we will sever your head in the White House."
