Three Brooklyn men who authorities said planned to travel to Syria to join the militant group known as Islamic State and wage jihad against the U.S. were arrested on Wednesday as part of a joint investigation by local and federal investigators.

One of the men was arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport, as he was about to board a flight bound for Istanbul, Turkey. Another was arrested in a raid in Brooklyn, and the third man was arrested in Florida, authorities said.

A criminal complaint unsealed on Wednesday named the three men as Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, Akhror Saidakhmetov and Abror Habibov.

[...]

They’re drawn, he said, by a message propagated on social media by Islamic State in particular that goes like this: “Troubled soul come, to the caliphate. You will live a life of glory. These are the apocalyptic end times. You will find a life of meaning here fighting for our so-called caliphate. And if you can’t come, kill somebody where you are.”

According to the complaint and affidavit unsealed Wednesday, Mr. Juraboev’s first post was under an alias: “Greetings! We too wanted to pledge our allegiance and commit ourselves while not present there. I am in U.S.A. now but we don’t have any arms. But is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anywhere while here? What I’m saying is, to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves, will it do? That will strike fear in the hearts of infidels.”

What's more worrying is the number of people that (1) aren't caught and (2) don't feel the need to travel outside of the country to do this.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

For a bunch of fastidious militants, al-Baghdadi and his goons are pragmatic.

The casualness of one of the guy's first forum posts was pretty funny. 'Oh yeah is it cool if we just shoot Obama, or do we have to like, go over there and do stuff?'
