BROWNSBURG, Ind. -- A Brownsburg man was indicted on a terrorism charge Wednesday afternoon by a federal grand jury.

Akram Musleh, 18, attempted to provide support material to and join ISIS, according to the FBI.

Musleh’s home, at Brownsburg Pointe Apartments, was raided by the FBI in June after he was accused of attempting to provide aid to the ISIS.

The FBI alleges Musleh booked or attempted to book several one-way flights to Iraq and Turkey, but never completed the flights. They also allege communications intercepted from Musleh indicated he was attempting to travel to the Middle East to join the ISIS.

Agents said Musleh booked a one-way ticket to Casablanca, Morocco, on July 21 from New York.

Musleh was arrested as he was boarding a Greyhound bus in Indianapolis in June.
