Man who admitted to plotting US attacks to be sentenced
CINCINNATI -- An Ohio man faces sentencing after pleading guilty to charges that he plotted attacks against a member of the US military and a police station in support of ISIS.
US District Judge Michael Barrett scheduled a hearing for Wednesday for Munir Abdulkader.
Court documents said Abdulkader pleaded guilty to attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, providing material support of a foreign terrorist organization and to a firearms count.
Prosecutors are seeking a 25-year prison sentence. Defense attorneys said similar cases have drawn sentences of 15 years or less.
