Ohio Resident Sentenced For Attempting To Join ISIS

U.S. Attorney's Office

A Dayton man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for trying to join ISIS.  

Laith Alebbini was convicted last year on charges of conspiracy and attempting to aid a terrorist organization. Prosecutors say the Jordanian citizen hatched a plot to fly to Syria and train with ISIS.  He was arrested in 2017 at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
