A 22-year-old man named Ali Saleh was arrested on Thursday for attemping to provide material support to the Islamic State (ISIS), according to the U.S. Department of Justice. He was arrested in Queens, New York.
“I’m ready to die for the Caliphate, prison is nothing,” Saleh at one point wrote on Twitter, according to the Justice Department. He used his Twitter account to communicate with an ISIS recruiter and asked for advice on how to travel to the Middle East to join the group, authorities said.
Saleh repeatedly attempted to make plans to travel to the Middle East to join the terrorist organization, the Justice Department alleges. In August 2014, he booked a flight from New York’s JFK Airport to Istanbul, Turkey. A number of extremists use the Turkish border to cross into Syria. He did not board that flight.
