Bangladeshi-born American indicted on terror charges

Texas court has indicted Bangladeshi-born American Rahatul Ashikim Khan for allegedly conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, US media reports say.
The 23-year-old was arrested Wednesday from his Round Rock residence in an Austin suburb, according to a news agency.
Khan, born in Chittagong, is a student at University of Texas at Austin. He became a US citizen in 2002.
He is accused of conspiring with others to recruit people who would travel overseas to support terrorist activities including violent jihad, federal prosecutors said Friday, reports Texas-based kwtx.com.
It said Khan was scheduled for a detention hearing Friday afternoon local time, but his hearing was reset for June 30. Khan, however, had pleaded not guilty.
In the event of a guilty finding, he faces prison sentence of as much as 15 years and fine of up to $250,000.
On Thursday, citing court documents, Abcnews reported that Khan allegedly wanted to join Somalia-based al Qaeda-linked terror group al-Shabab.
