Bradley "allegedly pledged devout allegiance to ISIS, expressing his desire to ‘fight among the rank[s] for the Islamic State,’" U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss for the Southern District of New York said in a statement. The couple planned to travel to Yemen aboard a cargo ship in an attempt to stay away from law enforcement, Strauss said. After the couple met up in New York in early March, Bradley allegedly contacted the undercover officer for help getting on a cargo ship to the Middle East. The officer put them in contact with someone who could help who was actually another undercover officer. Muthana is the sister of Hoda Muthana, who left the U.S. in 2014 to become an ISIS bride, according to AL.com.
