Feds arrest 2 Middle East refugees on terror-related charges

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/07/us/terror-charges-refugees/

"Federal authorities arrested two refugees on terror-related charges Thursday.

The arrests in Sacramento, California, and Houston did not appear to be directly related, but the cases had several similarities.

Both men were Palestinians born in Iraq and living as refugees in the United States, according to the U.S. Justice Department. And both of them are accused of lying to immigration officials about their alleged ties to terrorist organizations.

Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, of Houston, is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS."
