| Two Aurora cousins to be sentenced in terror plot on Joliet armory |
| 2016-09-21 |
| A year and a half after his arrest in an Islamic State-inspired plot to attack a Joliet armory, former Illinois National Guard member Hasan Edmonds says he's a changed man. In a letter last month to the federal judge who is to sentence him Tuesday, Edmonds said he's "reflected much and learned a great deal" about himself since his arrest. He realizes now he was "led astray by the hateful rhetoric" of ISIS. "My involvement in this debacle is a mixture of confusion, guilt, anger, idealism and naivete," wrote Edmonds, who along with his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiring to and attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist group. "In hindsight, it appears I have jeopardized my life and my freedom for what was tantamount to a fool's errand." |
