Ohio man admits soliciting murder of U.S. military members
By Chris Kenning
An Ohio man who professed support for the Islamic State militant group has pleaded guilty to soliciting the murder of U.S. military personnel, federal prosecutors said on Wednesday.
Terrence McNeil, 24, of Akron, Ohio, pleaded guilty to five counts of solicitation to commit a crime of violence and five counts of making threatening interstate communications, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
Under the terms of his plea, McNeil faces between 15 and 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on Aug. 2.

Prosecutors say McNeil spread Islamic State's violent rhetoric, circulated information about U.S. military personnel, and explicitly called for them to be killed.
