Prosecutors: Islamic State Inspired N. Carolina Man's Plan
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Feb 1, 2016, 3:29 PM ET
Federal prosecutors say a North Carolina man accused of planning an Islamic State-inspired attack also offered to pay an informant to kill his parents.
A federal indictment unsealed Monday charges Justin Nojan Sullivan of Morganton with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State, as well as firearms charges and a count related to attempted murder-for-hire.
Federal prosecutors say his mother opened a package containing a silencer that he ordered, and his parents questioned him about it.
The indictment alleges that he believed his parents would interfere and offered to pay the informant to kill them.
