But for now, they should be locked away underground. Besides, all they want to see is darkness.

The group members face charges of attempting to aid an enemy during war, membership in an illegal organization, membership in a terror organization, and aiding a terror group.
According to the investigation, the members of the cell planned several serious attacks, including mass attacks around the country and kidnappings.

Members of the group allegedly cut their hair, grew out their beards, and folded the hem of their pants in a fashion customary among Islamic State supporters.
