A police officer in Washington DC has been arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to Isis, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Nicholas Young, 36, of Fairfax, Virginia, who worked for the transport police was arrested at police headquarters, the newspaper said. An indictment filed in federal court said Young sent a law enforcement source codes for mobile messaging cards that Young believed would be used by Islamic State fighters.
Authorities said there was never any credible or specific threat to the Metro system.
Although Young believed he was in touch with Isis associates he was actually snared in an FBI sting, talking to officers investigating his activities, according to ABC.
