Court orders ISIS sympathizer who tried to kill FBI agent resentenced over ‘shockingly low’ sentence
A federal appeals court said on Friday a New York City man who tried to kill an FBI agent in 2015 in support of ISIS, should be re-sentenced after receiving a sentence of just 17 years for his actions.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has ordered a new sentencing for the case against Fareed Mumuni. Sentencing guidelines for Munumi’s actions would have called for an 85-year prison term under normal circumstances, according to the Associated Press.
Mumuni, a 25-year-old U.S.-born citizen was sentenced in April of 2018 after pleading guilty to charges he sought to aid the ISIS terror group and tried to kill FBI agent Kevin Coughlin, who searched his home in Staten Island, NY.
Mumuni was arrested in connection with Munther Omar Saleh, another ISIS sympathizer, who was arrested on suspicions he planned to
bomb the Statue of Liberty in New York.
