An American soldier, Cole Bridges, has pleaded guilty to seeking to tell ISIS terrorists how to ambush U.S. soldiers in the Middle East. Bridges, 22, was duped into thinking he was communicating online with a terrorist when it was really an FBI employee. He entered pleas on Wednesday in Manhattan federal court to trying to provide material support to terrorists and trying to murder U.S. military service members. He could face up to 20 years in prison on each of the two charges at a November 2 sentencing.
