USA v. Molloy
Pittsburgh, PA

Hizballah

[WDPA] Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, a former resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was indicted on charges of attempting to support the foreign terrorist organization Hizballah and making false statements involving international terrorism. As alleged in the indictment and complaint, from in and around August 2024 through in and around December 2024, in Lebanon, Syria, the Western District of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, Molloy attempted to provide material support and resources—namely, personnel (including himself) and services — to Hizballah knowing that the organization was a designated terrorist organization and that the organization had engaged in and was engaging in terrorist activity and terrorism. Molloy also allegedly expressed his hatred toward, and promoted violence against, Jewish people. Molloy's alleged animus toward Jews was also evidenced by multiple images and videos on his electronic devices and the usernames he chose for his social media and email accounts, including the username "KIKEKILLER313" on the social media platform X. In one alleged WhatsApp exchange with a family member, Molloy agreed that his "master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews." And while he was residing in Upper St. Clair, Molloy also allegedly visited a website detailing the possible incarceration location of Robert Bowers, who carried out the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue shooting during which he murdered 11 Jewish worshippers.
