Tulsa man arrested, charged with attempting to provide al-Qa’ida with weapons

A complaint was unsealed Wednesday after a Tulsa man appeared before a federal judge for attempting to provide 3-D printed weapons to an individual he believed was receiving them on behalf of al-Qa’ida.

Andrew Scott Hastings, 25, is charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations and illegal possession or transfer of a machinegun.
