3 men arrested in NYC, accused of planning to help ISIS
By News Staff
Three young men were arrested Wednesday, accused of trying to help ISIS and even willing to kill President Obama.
The men, living in Brooklyn, were allegedly targeting police, Coney Island, and even the President.
One of the men was nabbed before boarding a plane to Turkey.
The FBI started investigating the men after one was posting on an ISIS website.
“The ISIS capability on social media is nothing short of remarkable,” according to former NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
The current NYC Police Commissioner William Bratton says, “If they were not able to go, they would seek to acquire weapons here -handguns, machine gun.”
The FBI says in the last year alone, 20 others have been arrested for trying to fly from the US to the Middle East to fight with ISIS.
