A Pennsylvania man who previously served in the US military has been charged with attempting to support a “terrorist” organization after traveling abroad in an attempt to join. Hezbollahthe US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday
Jack Danaher Molloy, a dual US-Irish citizen, was arrested in Chicago on Dec. 6 and brought to Pennsylvania on Monday to face charges, the DOJ said in a statement.
According to the indictment, Molloy traveled to Lebanon in August 2024 and attempted to join the militant group, designated by the US as a “terrorist organization”. His efforts were rebuffed and he traveled to Syria in October 2024 to try to join the organization there.
He returned to the United States in late 2024 and continued to try to join Hezbollah, prosecutors said.
According to the DOJ, Molloy promoted violence against Jews on social media and said in a WhatsApp exchange with a family member that his “master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews.”
He was previously enlisted as an active duty soldier in the Army from mid-March to late April 2019.
He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of providing material support to a “terrorist” organization.
