Three Somali-Americans Found Guilty of Tryng to Join IS

The New York Times published an article on 3 June 2016 titled "3 Somali-Americans Found Guilty of Trying to Join Islamic State" by Jack Healy and Matt Furber.

The convictions capped an investigation that began in 2014 and led to six other young men pleading guilty to terrorism charges. Unlike earlier cases where a small number of Somali-Americans joined al-Shabaab, these young men tried to join the Islamic State.
