Dear Patriots,

On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, Mason Police informed the Mason community about an individual who had threatened harm to the University in a video posted on social media. At the time of the threats, the suspect was located in Morocco and was not an immediate or credible threat to the Mason community. However, because the suspect’s actions violated Virginia criminal law, Mason Police secured five felony warrants of arrest related to bomb threats against the University. Additionally, Mason Police worked with Interpol and several federal law enforcement agencies to track the suspect through several countries in the Middle East before he was ultimately arrested on the Virginia warrants while trying to enter Israel.

The suspect, Nassim Darwich, was extradited back to the US through JFK International Airport in New York City. Yesterday, Mason Police were in New York to take custody of Mr. Darwich and return him to Virginia. He is currently in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center where he is being held on $100,000.00 secured bond.

Mason Police would like to thank Interpol, the US Customs Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and the FBI/NY for assisting Mason Police with monitoring and arresting the suspect. We also appreciate the Mason community members who saw Darwich’s internet-based threats and acted to alert Mason Police. If anyone has any additional information about this case, please give the Mason Police Department a call at (703) 993-2810.

Thank You,

Mason Police

Dear Patriots,

It has come to Mason Police’s attention that an individual tagged Mason Police in a video posted on social media threatening harm to the University. The individual’s threats toward the University are not credible at this time. The individual is currently located outside of the United States. Additionally, the individual is known by law enforcement to make false and irrational statements.

Mason Police will continue to investigate and monitor the situation, but there is no reason to believe the individual’s threats toward the University are credible at this time.

We appreciate and thank the community members who saw something and acted to alert Mason Police.

If any one has any additional information please give the Mason Police Department a call at (703) 993-2810.
