The Associated Press<\/a> reports that Hasan Edmonds, a former Illinois National Guardsman who plotted with his cousin to kill as many guardsmen as he could at a nearby armory, was sentenced to 30 years in prison along with that cousin who got 21 years.<\/p>\n

Hasan Edmonds devised a plan to travel to the Middle East while Jonas Edmonds attacked the National Guard armory in Joliet, about 45 miles (70 kilometers) southwest of Chicago, according to prosecutors. The goal, prosecutors say, was to kill as many as 150 people at the facility.<\/p>\n

Jonas Edmonds said he dropped Hasan Edmonds at the airport to travel to the Middle East to join Islamic State fighters. But Jonas Edmonds denied he would have attacked the military armory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We wrote about the Edmonds<\/a> last year when they were arrested. Apparently, they were caught because they briefed an FBI informant throughout their plan. Hasan was arrested at the airport and Jonas was picked up when he picked up some uniforms he had planned to use to infiltrate the armory.<\/p>\n

Under plea agreements, Hasan Edmonds pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Jonas Edmonds pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and lying to federal agents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
