None

A Virginia man known for issuing an online warning that the creators of the "South Park" cartoon risked death by mocking the Prophet Muhammad has been charged with providing material support to the Somali terror organization known as al-Shabab.

 

Twenty-year-old Zachary Chesser was arrested Wednesday. According to court records, Chesser, also known as Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee, told federal agents that he twice tried to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab as a fighter, once with his infant son in tow to help him evade scrutiny. (AP)
