Fox News<\/a> reports that now in US custody is a former Air Force airplane mechanic who was fired from his job fixing airplanes as a private citizen who decided that ISIS would be a better, more reliable employer; <\/p>\n

Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, of Asbury Park, N.J., was arrested Jan. 16, before he could carry out his plan to join the black-clad jihadist army, authorities said. He was indicted on two counts of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and obstruction of justice, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Pugh was an Air Force avionics instrument system specialist who received training in the installation and maintenance of aircraft engine, navigation and weapons systems, prosecutors said. After leaving the Air Force, Pugh worked for companies in the United States and Middle East and had lived abroad for over a year before his arrest.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say he tried to join ISIS after he was fired from a job as an airplane mechanic somewhere in the Middle East, traveling from Egypt to Turkey in a bid to cross into Syria to join ISIS. Turkish authorities nabbed Pugh at the border Jan. 10 and sent him back to Egypt, prosecutors said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ISIS really missed out – I’m sure they would have use for an airplane mechanic. I’m not sure he thought this all the way through. Life with ISIS probably isn’t much like the military life that he’d be accustomed to as an avionics mechanic. If he was able to keep his noggin attached to his shoulders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
