The Virginia Jihad Network
Prior to al-Tamimi's prosecution, 11 male Muslim members of the so-called Virginia Jihad Network, all but one from the Washington area, were indicted on a number of charges related to their participation in a terrorist enterprise. Nine members of the group were convicted of participating in paramilitary training to prepare for "holy war " abroad that included paint guns as well as using and possessing various firearms, rocket propelled grenades and explosives. Tamimi was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in that case.

“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
