A California man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to seeking to provide support to the "Islamic State" (ISIS) group in Syria, where he allegedly hoped to train fighters for the terrorist network, AFP reports.
Nicholas Michael Teausant, a 22-year-old convert to Islam, was arrested in March last year as he tried to cross into Canada by bus en route to Syria, where he planned to join ISIS, authorities said. Detained as the result of an FBI sting operation, Teausant faces to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He is to be sentenced on March 8.
