Washington (CNN) -- Two Minnesota men face criminal charges in connection with terrorist activities by the Syrian group ISIS, according to a federal criminal complaint filed in Minneapolis.
The document charges Abdi Nur, 20, and Abdullah Yusuf, 18, with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Yusef is under arrest and has an appearance in federal court Tuesday. Nur remains at large, authorities said.
"As charged, these two young men conspired to join ISIL and travel from Minnesota to the Middle East to engage in a campaign of terror," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin, in a statement out Tuesday.
