(Daily Beast) After tips from Islamic centers in two different states, authorities arrested a Connecticut man they allege attempted to travel overseas to join the Islamic State.
Kevin Imam McCormick, 26, was charged on Oct. 21 with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization after a months-long FBI investigation and allegedly pledging his allegiance to ISIS and its leader in a video.
“I do like, I do like ISIS because Abu Musa was like my hero, I cry when I watch that video,” he said during one conversation with an FBI informant, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.
The Department of Justice did not issue a press release announcing the October arrest until after the publication of this article.
