U.S. Attorney's Office front man Randall Samborn said the 19-year-old Mohammed Hamzah Khan of Bolingbrook appeared in federal court Monday morning, after he was arrested at O'Hare International Airport on Saturday.

Khan has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, specifically by attempting to join the Islamic State
