CINCINNATI (AP) – An Ohio man faces sentencing after pleading guilty to charges that he plotted attacks against a member of the U.S. military and a police station in support of the Islamic State group.
U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett scheduled a hearing for Wednesday for Munir Abdulkader.
Court documents said Abdulkader pleaded guilty to attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, providing material support of a foreign terrorist organization and to a firearms count.
Prosecutors are seeking a 25-year prison sentence. Defense attorneys said similar cases have drawn sentences of 15 years or less.
The 22-year-old West Chester Township man was arrested in May 2015.
