Islamic State case hearing set in Chicago court

The case of a 19-year-old suburban Chicago man who authorities say violated U.S. law by trying to travel to Syria to join Islamic State militants is due in court.

A detention hearing is scheduled Monday for Mohammed Hamzah Khan. A judge last week denied prosecutors' request to partially close the hearing.

Khan is charged with seeking to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group.

Khan was arrested last month at O'Hare International Airport trying to board flight to Turkey. According to court documents, a search of his family's Bolingbrook home turned up a letter he left for his parents, telling them he was disgusted by Western society and felt obliged to travel to the Middle East.

Khan's attorney has said his parents did not know of their son's plans.
