An 18-year-old in suburban Indianapolis has been arrested for allegedly trying to fly to Morocco to join the Islamic State terror group. The Federal Bureau of Investigation says the teenager, Akram Musleh, had planned to provide material support to the terror group by joining it. Musleh reportedly has a long history of showing support for ISIS, having repeatedly posted on social media about the extremist group and his plans to join. Officials said Musleh had been on the FBI’s radar since August 2013, after he posted suspicious videos on YouTube. He is now in the custody of federal marshals.
