A man from the US state of Ohio, who pledged allegiance to Daesh, will spend 20 years in federal prison for planning to kill a military officer and attack a local police station, the US Department of Justice said in a press release on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Munir Abdulkader was sentenced to 20 years in prison and lifetime supervised release, for plotting to murder a military base employee and attack a Cincinnati area police station, the DOJ stated in a release.

The release revealed that Abdulkader planned to record the killing of a military officer in order to use the video for IS propaganda. Following the murder, he would then strike a police station in the Cincinnati area using firearms and Molotov cocktails.

Abdulkader used social media to get in contact with now-deceased Syria-based Daesh fighter Junaid Hussein and received tips on how to coordinate assaults, prosecutors said.

Daesh terrorist group is outlawed in many countries around the world, including the United States and Russia.
