New details are emerging after the arrest of what federal officials say was a terror cell in Johnston County.
Federal prosecutors now say an eighth suspect who went to Pakistan last year is still being sought.
Daniel Patrick Boyd, 39, Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 22, Ziyad Yaghi, 21, and four others, including Boyd’s sons, were all taken into custody by federal investigators. They are all charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and conspiring to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons abroad.
The justice department says Boyd received military-style training in terrorist training camps and worked to recruit others.
They say some of the men even practiced military tactics and the use of weapons on private property in Caswell County.
