Fox News
Following a multi-year investigation and the help of undercover officers, a husband and wife from New York and Alabama were arrested Thursday in New Jersey while allegedly attempting to travel overseas to fight with ISIS, the U.S. Justice Department said in a release.
Bradley "allegedly pledged devout allegiance to ISIS, expressing his desire to ‘fight among the rank[s] for the Islamic State,’" U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss for the Southern District of New York said in a statement. Bradley had also discussed attacking the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., or another place where military recruits would train, along with his wife, who has allegedly also pledged her support to ISIS, Strauss said. The couple planned to travel to Yemen aboard a cargo ship in an attempt to stay off law enforcement’s radar, Strauss said.More Related News
