Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Saadeh was accused of having planned to join the Islamic State group and of helping his younger brother Nader leave the United States to join the jihadist group in Syria in May 2015.

"Saadeh didn't just plan to join ISIL, he facilitated his brother’s overseas travel and deliberately took steps to conceal the scheme from law enforcement, said US Attorney Paul Fishman of the District of New Jersey.

ISIL is an alternative acronym for the Islamic State group.

The brothers were to have embraced extremist Islam some time after 2013.

Their parents were expelled from the United States several years ago after an unspecified conviction.

The father lives in Oman and the mother in Jordan.
