New York City man admits to plotting to help Islamic State

NEW YORK  - A New York City man has admitted to plotting to help the Islamic State group.
    
Fareed Mumuni pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn to charges that he planned to aid the extremist organization and tried to kill a federal agent searching his Staten Island home.
    
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old Mumuni attacked the agent with a kitchen knife, but the agent's body armor protected him.
