A US soldier in Hawaii was arrested over the weekend by the FBI on terrorism charges for allegedly providing support to the ISIL terror group, Reuters reported citing officials.
Ikaika Erik Kang, 34, was arrested late Saturday night by an FBI SWAT team at the Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, the FBI said in a news release.
He had been under investigation by the Army and FBI for more than a year.
The FBI believes Kang was a lone actor, and that he is not associated with others who may present a threat to Hawaii.
