An Adams, Massachusetts man pleaded guilty to multiple terrorism-related charges in a Springfield courtroom Monday.
Alexander Ciccolo was arrested in Adams three years ago after plotting attacks on police stations and colleges in the name of the so-called Islamic State. He entered guilty pleas to four charges Monday. Berkshire Eagle reporter Bob Dunn was there.
“It was very straightforward, very matter of fact. Mr. Ciccolo appeared to be pretty nonchalant.”
Those charges were providing material support for a terrorist organization, attempting to use weapons of mass destruction, being a prohibited person in possession of firearms, and assault with a dangerous weapon. His sentencing to 20 years in prison, part of the plea bargain, is scheduled for September 5th.
