Three Michigan men were apprehended at a Grand Rapids airport and have been charged with supporting Islamic State militants, including one man allegedly headed overseas to fight with them, federal authorities announced Tuesday.

Muse Abdikadir Muse, 20, was arrested Monday at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids during security screening for the first flight in a journey to Somalia, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court on the state’s west side.

His older sibling, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, 23, and brother-in-law, Mohamed Salat Haji, 26, also were apprehended in the terminal for their involvement in the plans, the filing stated.
