New Jersey Man Admits Conspiring to Back Islamic State Group
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Dec 10, 2015, 3:49 PM ET
A 20-year-old New Jersey man admitted to planning to travel to Syria so he could join the Islamic State group and to discussing homemade bombs that he would detonate in New York.
Nader Saadeh of Rutherford pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court to conspiring with others to provide material support to ISIS. He remains detained without bail.
Saadeh is the last of three New Jersey defendants to admit guilt in the case, which came to light in August when he was arrested by the FBI.
He acknowledged a co-defendant showed him diagrams for making bombs and discussed plans to use them in Times Square, the World Trade Center and Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in Queens.
He faces 15 years in prison when he is sentenced March 18.
