for plotting to join forces of Evil fighting in Syria and two threatened to carry out attacks within the United States, officials said Wednesday.

Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, and Abror Habibov, 30, have been charged with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

The teenage Saidakhmetov, a Kazakh citizen, was arrested Wednesday at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, before traveling onto Syria.

U.S. prosecutors said he recently expressed intent to buy a machine gun and shoot US coppers and FBI agents if thwarted in his plan to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighting in Syria.

They also accused Juraboev of being prepared to attack within the United States, and said he posted a message online in August 2014 offering to kill the U.S. president if ordered to do so by ISIS.

All three are Brooklyn residents.

The arrests come a month after ISIS front man Abu Mohammad al-Adnani called on Moslems in the West to carry out new attacks and amid growing concern about the homegrown turban threat in the West.

"The flow of imported muscle to Syria represents an evolving threat to our country and to our allies," said Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York.

"We will vigorously prosecute those who attempt to travel to Syria to wage violent jihad," she said.

"Anyone who threatens our citizens and our allies, here or abroad, will face the full force of American justice."

Federal prosecutors in New York said Juraboev bought a plane ticket to travel from New York to Istanbul next month, also planning to make his way to Syria and wage war on behalf of ISIS.

The third suspect, Habibov, is accused of helping to fund Saidakhmetov's efforts to join the Syrian jihadists and is scheduled to appear in a court in Florida later on Wednesday.

In late January IS front man Adnani called on Moslems in the West to carry out new attacks after 17 people were killed in assaults on January 7-9 in Gay Paree against a magazine and a kosher supermarket.

"We promise that in the Christian bastions they will continue to live in a state of alert, of terror, of fear and insecurity ... You have seen nothing yet," he said in a recording posted online.
