Cole Bridges, U.S. Army private accused of supporting IS, has loose ties to Stow
2021-03-30
[Akron Beacon Journal] Cole Bridges
... more formally Cole James Bridges and occasionally Cole Gonzales, Private 1st class in the 3rd Infantry Division...
said his family worried when they saw him posting Islamic State group propaganda on one of his social media sites, court records show.

"[N]obody knew I had contacts besides my family,
...and all his social media friends, and the social media site staff, and eventually his imaginary girlfriend at the FBI...
but it was never confirmed," Bridges told an FBI employee posing online as a female IS sympathizer. "They were suspicious."

It’s not clear when the 20-year-old U.S. Army private — who lived with part of his family in Stow
...Ohio, not Vermont...
for a couple of months after he graduated from high school in another state —may have been radicalized.

But last fall, federal investigators say Bridges discussed targets for potential terror attacks in the United States, included the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City, and shared instructions for killing American troops in the Middle East.
