By AMY FORLITI, ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Feb 11, 2016, 3:47 PM ET
A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State group.
Twenty-year-old Abdirizak (AHB'-dee-ree-zak) Mohamed Warsame (war-SAHM'-ee) entered his plea at a hearing Thursday in U.S. District Court.
Warsame admitted he tried to help other young men from Minnesota's Somali community with their plans to travel to Syria to fight for the Islamic State group.
Warsame says he learned about the Islamic State group by watching videos on YouTube and listening to lectures. He faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced at a later date.
