A suburban Indianapolis teenager accused of trying to travel overseas to join the Islamic State militant group has been formally indicted.
A federal grand jury indicted Akram Musleh yesterday on a charge of providing material support to a terrorist organisation. The Brownsburg man, who was 18 at the time of his June arrest, faces a September 23 initial hearing. He's being held in federal custody.
FBI agents arrested Musleh as he tried to board a bus to New York. Prosecutors have said he planned to fly to Morocco and on to territory controlled by the Islamic State. A criminal complaint alleges Musleh intended to join the terror group.
Messages seeking comment were left for two of Musleh's attorneys.
