Tairod Pugh, a U.S. Air Force veteran, was found guilty on
Wednesday of attempting to join Islamic State, according to his
lawyer.

The conviction marks the first case in more than 75 Islamic
State-related prosecutions brought since 2014 by the U.S.
Department of Justice to reach a jury verdict.

After a week-long trial in Brooklyn federal court, a jury found
Pugh, 48, guilty of attempting to provide material support to a
designated terrorist organization, and obstruction for
destroying four portable electronic storage devices after his
detention in Turkey.

"Of course, we are disappointed with the verdict as we put in
great effort to defend the case, but the jury appeared to be
fair and genuinely concerned about reaching the correct verdict
as they saw it," Pugh's lawyer Eric Creizman said.

Pugh will be sentenced in September, Creizman said.
