PHOENIX – An expert for the U.S. Justice Department described for a jury in a terror trial how Islamic State targets American troops and reaches new recruits.
Terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann testified Tuesday in the trial of a man accused of orchestrating a thwarted shooting attack on an anti-Islam event in Texas last year.
Two friends of defendant Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem brought semiautomatic rifles to shoot up the event but were killed by a police officer.
The two associates had the name of a U.S. military member written on a notebook found in their apartment.
Kohlmann said Islamic State issued a list of 100 military members including photos and their addresses in an effort to wage war with "soldiers of the enemy."
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
