Three Florida men charged with attempting to support Islamic State
Three Florida men were charged on Friday with attempting to support Islamic State, the latest in a string of similar U.S. prosecutions in recent years.
U.S. prosecutors said Gregory Hubbard, 52, was arrested on Thursday at Miami International Airport, where he planned to fly to Germany on his way to Syria to join the militant group's fighting force.
Darren Jackson, 50, and Dayne Christian, 31, provided Hubbard with weapons and firearms instruction and had themselves expressed a desire to join Islamic State, U.S. prosecutors said in a statement.

The Florida men repeatedly expressed support for Islamic State and for attacks carried out in its name, including the mass shootings in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, U.S. according to a criminal complaint filed on Friday.
