Teen Plots ISIS Trip to Syria | Seattle News

A 21-year-old from Kent admitted to plotting to join ISIS in Syria, pleading guilty to conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Arrested just before boarding a flight to Turkey, he was part of a broader plot uncovered after co-conspirators in Michigan were arrested. The group discussed jihad, weapons, and evading law enforcement, fully aware ISIS was a designated terrorist group. Facing up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, Mirreh accepted a plea deal that bars appeals if his sentence doesn’t exceed 20 years — and the government agreed not to appeal if it does. Sentencing is scheduled for October 16. This case underscores the relentless efforts to stop radicalization and thwart foreign terrorist recruitment.
