U.S. residents charged with plan to join the Taliban

4 U.S. residents charged on allegations they planned to join the Taliban in Afghanistan for training, and ultimately sought to join al-Qaeda. Three of the men, Ralph Deleon, Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, and Arifeen David Gojali, appeared in court in Los Angeles today, while the fourth, Sohiel Omar Kabir, is presently detained in Afghanistan. The group’s alleged intentions were reportedly found out through their social media statements, as well as by a chat unwittingly held with an FBI agent. source
