A Pennsylvania man who previously served in the U.S. Army has been indicted for attempting to support a “terrorist” organization.
Jack Danaher Molloy, a dual U.S. and 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 Hill.
According to the indictment, Molloy traveled to Lebanon in August 2024 and attempted to join the militant group, which is designated by the US as a “terrorist organization.” His efforts were rebuffed, and he traveled to Syria in October 2024 to attempt to join the organization there.
Prosecutors said after Molloy’s return to the United States last year he continued making attempts to join Hezbollah.
According to the DOJ, Molloy promoted violence against Jewish people 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 formerly enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the Army from mid-March to late April 2019.
If convicted, Molloy could face up to 20 years behind bars.
