Two men from California have been found guilty of plotting to provide material support to the so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group, BBC News reports.
A federal court convicted Nader Elhuzayel and Muhanad Badawi, both 25, after a two-week trial.
The pair were arrested last year after Elhuzayel attempted to board a Los Angeles plane headed to Turkey with the intent of joining IS.
Badawi had bought Elhuzayel a one-way ticket to Israel via Istanbul.
The two Anaheim, California, residents had "expressed a desire to die as martyrs" on social media, according to a statement from the US attorney's office.
Prosecutors also said a Facebook account appearing to belong to Badawi featured posts showing he intended to join IS.
Elhuzayel had a Facebook account displaying the IS flag as his profile picture.
The pair also made a video in which Elhuzayel swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of IS, and vowed to travel to Syria to join the group, according to court documents.
