Court records unsealed Monday accuse a former member of a North Carolina jihad cell of plotting to kill witnesses who testified against him at his federal trial.
Hysen Sherifi was sentenced earlier this month to 45 years in prison for conspiring to attack targets overseas and engage in military-style training. Sherifi was also accused of plotting with the terrorist cell’s alleged ringleader, Daniel Patrick Boyd, to attack U.S. military personnel and their families at the Marine Corp Base located in Quantico, Va. Sherifi is imprisoned at the New Hover County Detention Facility in North Carolina.
According to federal authorities, Sherifi asked for help in hiring a hit man to kill several people, including three witnesses who testified against him at his trial and an inmate who allegedly defrauded him of money. But the person he sought help from is a confidential law enforcement informant. Sherifi told the informant that he wanted pictures of the dead bodies and severed heads to warn other potential witnesses not to testify against him.
