US: Pakistani doctor arrested for allegedly trying to help ISIS

In US, a Pakistani doctor was arrested last night for allegedly trying to help ISIS and expressing his desire to conduct lone wolf terrorist attacks in the country. Officials said, Muhammad Masood, made several statements to others including pledging his allegiance to ISIS and its leader.

Masood also expressed his desire to conduct lone wolf terrorist attacks in the US.



The term lone wolf  is used by US law enforcement agencies and the media to refer to individuals undertaking violent acts of terrorism outside a command structure.

Masood is a licensed medical doctor in Pakistan and was formerly employed as research coordinator for a medical clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, under an H-1B visa.
