Americans join Syrian conflict raising security risk at home
Federal officials warn that a small but growing number of Americans have joined or sought to join anti Assad forces in Syria. The State Department has no precise counts, with estimates ranging from a few dozen to more than a dozen. Basit Sheikh from North Carolina was arrested while aiming to join Jabhat al Nusrah. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
