A Brooklyn man originally from Kazakhstan has been indicted on terrorism charges after allegedly having been a sniper and weapons trainer for ISIS and once boasting he supported “the worst terrorist organization in the world.”

Department of Justice officials announced on Wednesday, Sept. 4 that a five-count indictment had been filed in federal court in Brooklyn the previous day charging 43-year-old Ruslan Maratovich Asainov with terrorism-related crimes.
