The FBI`s New York Field Office released photos on X confirming the extradition of a foreign fugitive from Georgia, marking the end of a ten-year manhunt to bring him to justice.

"Davud Ansariy, a citizen of Uzbekistan and naturalized citizen of the United States, will be arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn this afternoon on an indictment charging him with one count of conspiring and one count of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Al-Nusrah Front (ANF). Ansariy was extradited to the Eastern District of New York from the country of Georgia on September 23, 2026, where he was arrested in August 2026", - reads the statement.

The U.S. Department of Justice expressed its gratitude to the Prosecutor`s Office of Georgia today, commending their strong cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts and their critical role in capturing the fugitive.
