Taheb allegedly told an FBI informant around August that he planned to travel to Islamic State territory and that he was selling his car to fund the trip, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Sen. Roy Blunt's retirement highlights the twin challenge facing Senate Republicans: finding good replacement candidates and avoiding a pathway for potential troublemakers to join their ranks.
