Alleged Yuppie Jihadis, 19, Plotted Boston Bombing-Style Attack, Planned to Join ISIS: Feds
Two upper-crust student athletes from tony Montclair, New Jersey, are accused of participating in an ISIS-inspired terror ring — with one of the suspects allegedly plotting a Boston bombing-style attack, the feds said Wednesday.
Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel and Milo Sedarat, both 19, were arrested on Tuesday, with both teens living in $1 million-plus Victorian houses in the manicured New York City suburb.
The accused yuppie jihadis both grew up in privilege before allegedly turning to ISIS.
Jimenez-Guzel’s mother, Meral Guzel, serves as the head of the United Nation’s Women’s Entrepreneurship program, and Sedarat’s father, Roger Sedarat, is an award-winning Iranian-American poet and a professor at Queens College in New York City.
Guzel has been with the UN for more than a decade working on women empowerment projects, according to her LinkedIn account, with the mother previously working in the finance sector. (Read more from “Alleged Yuppie Jihadis, 19, Plotted Boston Bombing-Style Attack, Planned to Join ISIS: Feds” HERE)
