ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A Sterling man who tried to join the Islamic State group and talked about carrying out an attack on military members was sentenced to 11 years in prison by a federal judge Friday. He had faced a maximum of 20 years.
Mohamed Jalloh, 27, was arrested in July and pleaded guilty in October to charges of attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group.
While on a trip to Africa, Jalloh wound up on a truck bound for ISIS-controlled territory, but decided to back out before joining the fight. After returning to the U.S., Jalloh was contacted by an ISIS organizer he had worked with in Africa, who put him in touch with a person who turned out to be an FBI informant. Jalloh gave money to the informant and talked about an attack like the one at Fort Hood. He was arrested a day after purchasing an assault rifle.
