Arizona man accused of helping New York college student get ISIS training to remain in custody
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An Arizona man accused of helping a New York college student join the Islamic State in Syria will remain in federal custody.
At a detention hearing Tuesday in Phoenix, a federal judge ruled Ahmed Mohammed el Gammal is a flight risk, and he'll remain in custody pending any further review by the Southern District of New York.
His trial date hasn't been set yet.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Gammal was indicted last week in Manhattan federal court, where the case is being prosecuted.
He allegedly helped a 24-year-old student travel to Syria and receive military and religious-style training earlier this year.
The 42-year-old Gammal was arrested in the Phoenix suburb of Avondale on a criminal complaint unsealed Aug. 26 in New York.
