3 US men on trial over conspiring to join Islamic State
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThree Minnesota men are due to go on trial today in federal court in Minneapolis over accusations that they plotted to join the Islamic State group.
Prosecutors say the three young men were part of a larger group of friends in Minnesota’s Somali community who met several times to plan how to travel to Syria.
All three are pleading not guilty to multiple charges. The most serious charge is conspiracy to commit murder outside the United States, which carries the possibility of life in prison.
Opening statements are expected today.
