MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man accused of traveling to the Middle East in a failed attempt to join the Islamic State has been ordered held without bond. Thirty-four-year-old Joshua Van Haften made his first court appearance Thursday in Madison one day after being arrested at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. A newly unsealed criminal complaint charges Van Haften with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. The complaint says Van Haften talked to friends about his plans and flew to Istanbul last August. But it says he was unable to cross the border into Syria. U.S. Attorney John Vaudreil called Van Haften is a flight risk. Van Haften’s lawyer, Joseph Bugni, said he looks forward to “having all the facts brought to light.”
