CHICAGO (WLS) -- A 19-year-old Bolingbrook man has pleaded not guilty to a terrorist charge in federal court Tuesday.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan is accused of trying to join ISIS in Syria.

Investigators say he tried to provide material support to a terrorist organization. His attorney says he fell under the influence of ISIS propaganda.

Officers arrested Khan at O'Hare International Airport in October.
