Officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) have arrested three Kenyan-Americans who are suspected to be members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist organization.
The three Kenyan-born men, who are residents of Lansing, Michigan, were arrested on Monday at the Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In a statement, the Department of Justice says the three suspects are identified as Muse Abdikadir Muse, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, and Mohamed Salat Haji.
The suspects were arraigned in Grand Rapids court on Tuesday where they were charged with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS. If convicted, the accused persons, who are in their 20s, could be imprisoned for 20 years.
The Department of Justice says the three are naturalized United States citizens who immigrated from Kenya.
They are alleged to have recorded videos of themselves pledging allegiance to the terrorist organization and are accused of threatening to kill "non-believers" by mowing them down with a car.

I will not call them sleepy looking low lives or losers but I beg to ask why they would be in the radar in the first place. What a shame! They are tainting the good name of hard working doubles-driven-plots buying Kenyans in the mud!!!
Our brothers the Muslim leaders need to come together and correct what’s wrong with their religion. Which god requires humans to kill innocent women and children for him and yet it’s described as a religion of peace? Poor ,lusfull youth with low self esteem are falling prey to this evil minded Islamists with the promise of virgins in ‘heaven’ when they die in their cowardly acts against their own communities.
Too soon to comment. They are suspects not terrorists yet.
