(NY Post) A Brooklyn man who pledged allegiance to ISIS and uploaded instructional manuals online about how to carry out lone-wolf terror attacks in New York was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Wednesday.
The suspect, 42-year-old Zachary Clark, pleaded guilty last year to attempting to provide material support to ISIS — and admitted he posted manuals about how to carry out attacks to encrypted chat rooms designed to recruit new terrorists.
At the hearing in Manhattan federal court, Judge Naomi Buchwald highlighted that prior to his arrest, Clark said he was willing to die for the cause — and showed little remorse after he was collared.
Instead, Buchwald said, Clark showed “regret he was caught” and “regret he is facing a long stretch in jail.”
