Ohio Man Who Plotted Attack in Support of IS Gets 20 Years

An Ohio man was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty of planning attacks in support of the Islamic State group against a police station and a member of the U.S. military.

Munir Abdulkader, 22, was sentenced in Cincinnati by U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett. After completing his time in prison, the West Chester Township man faces lifetime probation.

"Using social media to communicate with the now-deceased Syria-based ISIL terrorist Junaid Hussain, Abdulkader coordinated and planned violent murders of military members and police officers. … Identifying and stopping such ISIL-directed and -inspired plots is and will remain one of our highest priorities," Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord said.
