A 20-year-old Ohio man is accused of trying to board a flight to join ISIS.
Aaron Travis Daniel was arrested at the Columbus airport Monday, NBC News reports.
The FBI said the Columbus man admitted he sent money to an ISIS recruiter and planed to travel to Libya “for the purpose of joining” the terrorist group.
“He’s accused of paying money that was intended to go to a foreign terrorist organization — in this case [ISIS],” U.S. Attorney Benjamin C. Glassman said in a brief news conference outside court Monday. “And then further, he was accused of attempting to provide himself as a fighter” for ISIS.
Daniels, who was held without bond, was charged with knowingly providing and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
If convicted, he could be sentenced up to 20 years in prison.
