US charges three men in plot
to join ISIL
Three men accused of plotting to travel to Syria to
join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group and wage war against
the United States have been arrested on terrorism charges.
One
of the men spoke of attacking President Barack Obama or planting a bomb at
Coney Island, a popular New York tourist attraction, federal officials said.
Wednesday's
arrests come after US officials have expressed alarm at the idea that Americans
could travel to Syria to fight alongside ISIL or train there and return to the
US to carry out attacks against the homeland.
