Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that Ikaika Kang was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury yesterday in Honolulu, Hawaii for four counts of attempting to provide material support to ISIS. He was arrested on July 7th and he’ll be arraigned on Monday in federal court.<\/p>\n

[Kang’s court-appointed attorney, Birney] Bervar said he is working on getting Kang a mental health evaluation and that his client may suffer from service-related mental health issues.<\/p>\n

A “turning point” for Kang’s mental state seems to be a 2011 deployment, Bervar said. “He’s a decorated American soldier for 10 years, goes to Afghanistan and comes back and things start going off the rails.”<\/p>\n

Federal officials say Kang met with undercover FBI agents he thought were with the terror group and provided classified military documents to the agents.<\/p>\n

The FBI said in their criminal complaint that Kang wanted to commit a mass shooting after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kang was an air traffic controller for the Army. I’m not sure how that job would make him want to kill a lot of people or pledge allegiance to a group of terrorists, but I’m sure they’ll find a doctor somewhere who can explain that to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
