Jamshid Muhtorov, who is charged with one count of providing material support of a designated foreign terrorist organization (IJU) and attempt to do the same, will make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Denver this afternoon.  He will appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya at 2:00 p.m.  Her courtroom is located at the Byron Rogers U.S. Courthouse, 1929 Stout Street, Second Floor, Courtroom C-201.

If convicted, Muhtorov faces not less than 15 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000.  The defendant remains in federal custody and was transported to Colorado by the U.S. Marshals.
