A Hawaii-based active duty soldier told undercover FBI agents that he wanted to “kill a bunch of people” after he had pledged allegiance to Islamic State.
Ikaika Kang, a sergeant first class in the U.S. Army, was arrested Saturday and appeared in court Monday on terrorism charges, the Associated Press reports.
Kang allegedly helped buy a drone with the intent of using it against American forces. He also is accused of saying he would to shoot “a bunch of people” with a rifle.
Kang thought he was meeting with Islamic State loyalists, but he was actually communicating with undercover agents.
Paul Delacourt, the FBI special agent in charge of the Hawaii bureau, said Kang was a lone wolf.
