Prosecutors: NY man willing to sacrifice self for jihad
None
NEW YORK -- A New York man was being held without bail on terrorism charges after federal authorities said he was prepared to strap on a bomb and sacrifice himself for jihad and persistently tried to join the Islamic State or another extremist group in Syria.
Elvis Redzepagic, 26, was charged Saturday with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Police on suburban Long Island arrested Redzepagic on Feb. 2 on a minor, unrelated charge, and he told them: "I'm going to leave this country, and I'm going to come back with an Army -- Islam is coming," according to a federal court complaint.
