Dayne Antani Christian, also known as Shakur, 32, of Lake Park pleaded guilty on March 29, and Darren Arness Jackson, also known as Daoud, 51, of West Palm Beach pleaded guilty on Tuesday – both of whom expressed a desire to travel to Syria to join ISIS, according to the indictment.
On July 21, 2016, Christian, Jackson and Gregory Hubbard, also known as Jibreel, were arrested after Jackson drove Hubbard and an FBI confidential human source (CHS) to Miami International Airport for a flight to Berlin, Germany.
