The FBI on Wednesday arrested three Brooklyn men who they say planned to travel abroad and join ISIS or, should that plot fail, carry out domestic acts of terror. Authorities said they nabbed the men at separate locations — one in Brooklyn, one in Florida, and one at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport while he was preparing to board a flight to Turkey. The three have been charged with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to a terror group.
