COLUMBUS, Ohio – A bond hearing is set for an Ohio man accused of trying to travel to Libya to join the Islamic State group.

Daniels' court-appointed attorney has declined to comment.

Daniels was taken into custody Monday at John Glenn Columbus International Airport after a months-long investigation.
