A wannabe terrorist from Brooklyn was indicted yesterday for allegedly seeking training and weapons from Islamic militants to fight US troops overseas.

The FBI said Betim Kaziu, a US citizen, traveled to Cairo in February and later to Kosovo, where he was arrested in August.

Along the way, Kaziu allegedly sought to join Al-Shabbab, an armed movement listed as a terrorist group by the State Department, and train in Pakistan to fight American troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Balkans.

Kaziu sought to purchase weapons in Egypt, according to the indictment filed in Brooklyn federal court.

“This case is a textbook example of a successful international effort to investigate and apprehend those who would engage in terrorist acts and preempt their plots,” said U.S. Attorney Benton Campbell.
