A Pennsylvania man who briefly served in the U.S. Army faces charges of attempting to join the terrorist militant group Hezbollah in an effort to "kill Jews," the Department of Justice (DOJ) said.

Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh Thursday for allegedly traveling to Lebanon and Syria last year to join the Iran-backed group despite knowing it is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.

According to an affidavit, Molloy, a dual U.S. and Irish citizen who previously served on active duty status in the Army, attempted to join the terrorist organization multiple times.

The DOJ said the 24-year-old converted to Islam in 2024.

After his conversion, he contacted people in Lebanon while in the country in August 2024 about becoming a Hezbollah fighter, the DOJ alleges. His contacts responded that the time was not right and that he’d need to take further steps.

Molloy went to Syria in October 2024 and attempted to join again. On his flight back to the U.S., the DOJ said, he lied to FBI agents at Pittsburgh International Airport when he said he did not intend to join Hezbollah, that he had no business in Syria and that he did not meet anyone there.

When he returned stateside, he continued attempts to join the organization, according to the DOJ.

Authorities allege Molloy had expressed hatred and promoted violence against Jewish people via social media.

An affidavit reviewed by Fox News Digital said Molloy posted antisemitic sentiments on social media.

Court documents also revealed he told a family member his "master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews."

While Molloy was living in Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania, the DOJ said, he also allegedly visited a website detailing the possible incarceration location of Robert Bowers, who carried out the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue shooting that killed 11 Jews.

If convicted, Molloy faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for a material support charge. For the false statement charges, he faces a maximum penalty of eight years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both.

Well, you know, it's only VETERANS who are not a "Protected " class when reporting the news. Headlines don't report Race/Ethnicity. When did you see "Black man tries to rob bank" or "Baptist tries to rob 7-11".

But, there it is, "Veteran wants to...."

Or it could have been written this way.
There is no relevance to his military background.

I’d be interested to know how he only “briefly served” in the military. What exactly is meant by “briefly”?

“Molloy signed a contract in September 2021 with the Army ROTC at the University of Illinois at Chicago, but court documents show that he is no longer a ROTC member.

He served as an enlisted active-duty soldier from March to April 2019. Court records did not explain the circumstances of his departure from service.

A dual U.S. and Irish citizen who converted to Islam in early 2024, Molloy contacted people in Lebanon while in the country in August about becoming a Hezbollah fighter, DOJ said.”

I’m going with less than two months of service for the lily white Irishman.

Booted from boot?

POS tries to join a group comprised of PsOS.

What was he doing in Lebanon?

First he was internet promoted to Veteran status, now he’s been internet promoted to Officer:

Irish have a soft-spot for Islamic terrorists, particularly those of the Palestinian cause.

“It was obviously in the interest of those who opposed the [Vietnam] war, and those who evaded it, to portray those who served in the worst possible light.”

One of the most common ways of attracting attention and thereby gaining influence over the people who pay attention to them is to attack a commonly-held belief or value, such as expressing appreciation for military veterans. We are starting to see criticisms of that somewhat mindless attitude, and I would not be the least bit surprised to see it continue and become more common. If one doesn’t support our military actions, it makes logical sense to criticize those who serve in them. With the ever-increasing complaints about the so-called “forever” wars and the total ignorance of why they occur and the stunningly idiotic belief that the U.S. has “started” most wars in recent history, I can only expect attacks on veterans to become more accepted and strident.

Not strictly true, Sir. As a race, the Irish don't give one-third of a rat-turd for islamic terrorists. But I do recall, during my 33 years [all but ten days] in the British Army that a very small and totally-unrepresentative number of people from Northern Ireland, in particular, were recipients of large gifts of arms, ammunition and explosives from the late Colonel Ghadaffi, when their American sources tailed off somewhat.

Correct me if I have the two reversed, I believe the split within the IRA (along with other issues) during the late-60/70's was over the issue of support from Islamic terror groups. The Dublin-faction was all in favor of whatever support they could obtain as they delved deeper into Marxist ideology whereas the Belfast faction was only focused on anti-British motives and not into any ideological alignments with outside groups.

Sounds like it. They used to call it a TDP, (trainee discharge program). Failure to adapt or some such thing.
