An Ohio man has been arrested for attempting to travel to Syria to provide material support to the barbaric Islamic group ISIS, which identifies itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Laith Waleed Alebbini, 26, was taken into custody on Wednesday at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport following an FBI investigation.
