A suburban Chicago man was charged Monday with attempting to travel overseas to join the Islamic State.
Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, of Bolingbrook, was arrested without incident at O’Hare International Airport after being questioned by FBI agents Saturday.
The alleged wannabe terrorist left behind a three-page letter for his parents explaining his actions, according to the criminal affidavit.
“My dear parents, there are a number of reasons I will be going to the blessed land of Shaam (another name for Syria) and leaving my home,” the letter reads.
He allegedly wrote he feels an obligation to migrate to the region now that the Islamic State has “been established,” referring to the terrorist group’s self-declared caliphate.
