The Department of Justice said on Monday that a Maryland man has been indicted on suspicion of supporting the Somalia terror group al Shabaab and appearing in their propaganda videos.

Maalik Alim Jones, 31, "was charged with providing material support to al Shabaab and receiving training from the terrorist organization,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin said in a statement released by the department.

Prosecutors said the suspect traveled to Somalia, received military training from al Shabaab, and took up arms as a terrorist fighter with an organization that has declared the United States a target.

"Having allegedly sworn allegiance to al Shabaab, a terrorist organization bent on destroying America, Maalik Jones will now face American justice in a Manhattan federal court," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.

Jones appeared in at least two videos with other al Shabaab fighters who were involved in the June 2015 attack on a Kenyan Defense Force Base that killed two soldiers, authorities said.

This latest arrest follows last weeks arrest in California and Texas of two refugees from the Middle East on federal terrorism charges.

More than 75 arrests have been made of U.S. residents who have allegedly become radicalized Muslims since 2014.
