"Cole Bridges used his U.S. Army training to pursue a horrifying goal: the brutal murder of his fellow service members in a carefully plotted ambush," said Damian Williams, U.S. attorney.
"Beginning in at least 2019, Private Bridges began researching jihadist propaganda and posted his support for ISIS on social media," according to the Justice Department.
The criminal complaint detailed that Private Bridges began a correspondence with an F.B.I. agent posing as an ISIS supporter, showing his intent to aid the group.
"Private Bridges was a supporter of ISIS and its mission to establish a global caliphate," as stated in the findings by the Justice Department.
