Another New York man admits seeking to help Islamic State group

Another New York City man has admitted to plotting to help the Islamic State group.

(FOX)- Munther Omar Saleh pleaded guilty Friday in federal court in Brooklyn to charges that he planned to help the extremist organization.

Saleh told a judge that he supported the group knowing that it engaged in terrorism. He also admitted communicating with a person he believed was an Islamic State recruiter.

Prosecutors say he and Fareed Mumuni, a co-defendant who’s also pleaded guilty, plotted a homegrown attack using a pressure cooker.

The two were part of a group of six that planned to travel overseas and fight for ISIS. Three New Jersey residents have admitted to their roles in the 2015 case.
