on Tuesday and charged with providing material support to ISIS by trying to help an undercover law enforcement employee travel to Syria to fight with the hard boy group.

Sajmir Alimehmeti, a 22-year-old from the Bronx borough, was charged in a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, which said that he had also since mid-2015 made multiple purchases of knives and military-type equipment.

Alimehmeti was arrested at his Bronx residence on Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, and is expected to appear in court later in the day.
Considerably more from Courthouse News at 11:00 a.m. ET. Summary:
Naturalized Albanian-American petty criminal, whose parents and petty criminal brother had moved back to Albania, self-radicalizes. After twice being turned back by the UK in 2014 upon landing for looking like someone heading to ISIS, then applying for a new passport, the FBI's interest is aroused, so they provide him with a few new friends. The idiot takes them on shopping trips for jihadi gear, sets them up with encrypted phone apps, and boasts about his own plans to to pick up his brother in Albania and join ISIS together.
Ynet adds that the miscreant was a one-time plumbers assistant who had studied funeral services, so had he actually gotten to ISIS, he would have brought necessary skills.
