A Kentucky man who traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) is facing sentencing after being charged with terrorism-related offenses. The 34-year-old man, a dual U.S.-Bosnian citizen, left the U.S. for Istanbul in 2014 alongside two co-conspirators. They later joined ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
According to the Department of Justice, the man attended an ISIS training camp where he received military-type training. He then joined an ISIS fighting unit composed primarily of Bosnian foreign fighters and participated in an ISIS offensive in Kobane, Syria.
