CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Wisconsin man arrested at O'Hare has now admitted that he wanted to become a terrorist fighter and looked forward to spilling his blood "against enemies of Allah."
When federal agents arrested Joshua Van Haften at O'Hare in April 2015, he was an ISIS reject. Van Haften had flown to the Syrian border to try to join the Islamic State terrorist organization, but was apparently swindled by middle-men who only wanted his money.
They dumped him on a dusty road, but his intentions were a federal crime that he admitted committing.
This was the Promised Land for Van Haften according to federal prosecutors. They said the fact that he never got there doesn't let him off the hook.
On Wednesday at the federal courthouse in Madison, he pleaded guilty to attempting to give material support to a terrorist group.
The Wisconsin native told the judge, "Your honor, I am a Muslim and I wanted to be a part of the caliphate that is occurring or will be occurring in the Sham, the Levant and Syria."
He is to be sentenced in February. He is looking at up to 15 years.

Loser
Let Obammy talk to him...put him up at the Whitey Hut.
What a scumbag.
.45 in either ear hole. Unmarked in a potters field. Send the family the bill
Nope, profiling wouldn’t have caught him.
Child molester like his prophet.

He’ll get a pardon from Klownie the Kenyan, wait and see..
It’s a good career. No particular training or qualifications necessary. Good for 15 or 20 years - food, shelter, medical, dental, clothes and whatnot.
If I were that guy, I would want to go somewhere. But is seems that ISIS may be somewhat of a discriminating employer. That’s bad. Shame on them.
They should have let him on the flight to be arrested upon arrival. Middle East Justice is more effective.
I can help him with the “spilling his blood” part. Give me a dark room, some duct tape, and a power drill ...
Certainly more entertaining.
Explains his motivation. He wants a religion where child rape is pious.
