Report: Freeport Man Died Fighting for Islamic State

Newly released court documents paint a picture of an Iranian immigrant in Freeport who became radicalized after moving to Maine in 2009, left his wife and three kids behind and was killed fighting for the Islamic State in Lebanon last year.

Adnan Fazeli had come under investigation by the FBI shortly after he left his job in Portland to fly to Turkey and never returned. The details of the story are chronicled by a team of reporters in today’s Portland Press Herald.
