A federal grand jury indicted a 19-year-old American for trying to travel overseas to join Islamic State militants operating in Syria and Iraq, the Justice Department said on Friday. This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
Mohammed Hamzah Khan of Bolingbrook, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, was charged with trying to provide material support to the Islamic State (Isis) in a single-count indictment returned late Thursday, the department said in a statement.
He was arrested in October 2014 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport as he tried to board a plane to Vienna en route to Istanbul with his 17-year-old sister and 16-year-old brother. For further information, please contact:
A date for Khan’s arraignment in US district court in Chicago has not been determined, the department said.
Attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
