According to the Associated Press, Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, of Bolingbrook, Ill. was arrested at O'Hare International Airport on Saturday night. The Chicago Sun-Times adds that Khan purchased a ticket to Turkey last month, and that federal agents discovered a note intended for his parents asking them to "join [him] in the Islamic State."
Khan faces charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and will remain in custody until Oct. 9, when his next hearing is scheduled.
