Officials arrested an Ohio man accused of trying to join the Islamic State group Monday morning after he was attempting to fly to Libya.
(FOX)- Aaron Daniels was taken into custody at John Glenn Columbus International Airport after a months long investigation.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman said Daniels wired money to an ISIS group operative back in January.
The FBI told The Columbus Dispatch that Daniels admitted to wiring money to ISIS and that he was planning on heading to Libya in order to join the terror group.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that Adrienne Daniels said her son planned to go to the Middle East in hopes of studying Islam, saying Daniels became interested in the religion years ago.
A criminal complaint alleges the 20-year-old Daniels told an undercover informant about his interest in traveling overseas to commit jihad.
