A jury has been selected for the trial of an Arizona man charged with supporting the Islamic State group and helping plan a violent attack last year at a controversial cartoon contest in Texas.
The jury selection for Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem cleared the way for opening statements today.
It's believed to be the first time the government has put a person on trial on charges related to the Islamic State.
Kareem is accused of providing the guns used at the May 3 attack.
Authorities say Kareem and the two men who carried out the attack researched travel to the Middle East so they could join Islamic State fighters.
Kareem denies the allegations.
