Soldier charged with plotting terrorist attack against his deployed Army unit

A 22-year-old soldier has been charged with planning an attack on his Army unit in an indictment unsealed in federal court Monday.

Ethan Melzer of Louisville, Ky., allegedly sent sensitive details about his unit, including locations, movements and security measures, to members of an extremist organization named Order of the Nine Angles, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement issued Monday.

Melzer was charged with conspiring and attempting to murder U.S. nationals, conspiring and attempting to murder service members, providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists and conspiring to murder and maim in a foreign country.

Melzer was arrested June 10 after the FBI and Army had discovered his plot and thwarted it in late May, the statement said.

He operated under the alias of Etil Reggad, according to the indictment.

His Army unit was not identified in the indictment nor in the statement.

"As the indictment lays out, Ethan Melzer plotted a deadly ambush on his fellow soldiers in the service of a diabolical cocktail of ideologies laced with hate and violence," John C. Demers, assistant attorney general for national security, said in the statement.
