A man charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists has pleaded guilty, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Michael Wolfe, 23, faces up to 15 years in federal prison.
According to a release from the Department of Justice, Wolfe admitted that from August 2013 to June 2014 he planned to travel to the Middle East to provide his services to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham/Syria, a foreign terrorism organization. Wolfe said he planned to engage in violent jihad in Syria.
Wolfe purchased plane tickets to Europe so he could meet with an undercover FBI agent, who he believed would help him travel to Syria through Turkey. Wolfe was arrested on June 17 in Houston as he attempted to board a flight to Canada.
Wolfe is in federal custody. There is no date set for his sentencing trial.
