Three Brooklyn men charged with ISIL support

Federal authorities announced charges Wednesday against three Brooklyn men accused in a conspiracy to provide support to the terrorist group ISIL.

One of the men, Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, was arrested early Wednesday morning at John F. Kennedy International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Instanbul where he had allegedly planned to travel to Syria, prosecutors said.

Saidkakhmetov and Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, are scheduled to appear later today in a Brooklyn federal court. The third man, Abror Habibov, 30, is scheduled for a court appearance today in Jacksonville, Fla.

According to court documents, Juraboev and Saidakhmetov allegedly planned strikes on domestic targets if they were unable to travel abroad to join ISIL.

And in an August 2014 posting on an Uzbek-language website that contains ISIL's ideology, Juraboev offered to kill the president of the United States if ordered to do so by ISIL. More recently, Saidakhmetov expressed his intent online to buy a machine gun and shoot police officers and FBI agents if thwarted in his plan to join ISIL in Syria.
