Illinois Teen Charged With Trying to Travel to Mideast to Join ISIS (BREAKING)
NBC 5 News Chicago ^ | 10/6/2014 | Mike Brunker

A 19-year-old Illinois man was charged Monday with a terrorism-related offense for allegedly trying to join ISIS in its battle to carve out an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

Authorities said Mohammed Hamzah Khan of the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook was arrested Saturday at O'Hare International Airport as he waited to board a flight to Vienna. From there, he intended to fly to Istanbul, Turkey, and then make his way into Syria or Iraq to fight for ISIS, they said.

Khan was charged Monday in a federal criminal complaint with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He appeared briefly in court and was ordered to remain in custody pending a detention hearing on Thursday.

“attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.”

You mean like Obama did in giving them back their top five generals?

Sure would shut it down. That used to be a very serious charge and was used.

Is that his real name or is he another product of Teddy Kennedys immigration act?

WINNER!! Was waiting to see how many posts it'd take to point out Obama's own TREASON for which he should be impeached, arrested and REMOVED from office!

How do we know he was born in the U.S.? The problem is that both the Bush and Obama administrations resettled thousands of Somali refugees into the U.S. and these people aren’t assimilating.

Obama will pardon him and pay for the ticket.

“After observing Khan pass through the airport security checkpoint on Saturday afternoon, federal agents searched his home and recovered handwritten documents expressing support for ISIS and jihad and outlining his travel plans. One of the items, according to the affidavit, was a letter explaining his travel to his parents.”

Unless there is more to the story, the Feds might have difficulty with Probable Cause to search his house.

Why not let him go over there? He’s a big boy...let him see what it’s like over there. It would be a FABULOUS lesson for him.

A teen or a man?

Reporters and editors need to get their story straight.

Oh, this dog’s name is Mohammed, huh? I’m really surprised.

The crazed rotten apple terrorist doesn’t fall far from the rotten “prophet” tree.

What part of “nineteen” makes him not a teenager?

If he were REALLY that heated up about it he wouldn't have purchased a ROUND-TRIP ticket.
He's just trying to show off -- nothing more. He hasn't a CLUE as to what war is all about. If he did he wouldn't be acting like such an immature FOOL.

Shoot, the first time he SMELLED war he would puke and come a-runnin' back to his mommy.

Should be charged with conspiracy to commit murder and terrorism.

And should be exported out of the country once he gets out of prison, in about 50 years.

It all depends. They use that language for females.
If the female is misbehaving, she's just a "girl" but it she is doing something great she's a wonderful woman.
Girl is used like boy is used.
At 18 the word is MAN and WOMAN. So "Ole Mo" is a grown man and if he WANTS to go to Pit-Hole middle east, LET HIM!!!!!
