NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A U.S. soldier from Ohio allegedly spoke with undercover FBI agents online about attacking several New York City landmarks, including the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in Manhattan, according to a report.

Cole James Bridges, 20, spoke with several people he thought were members of ISIS in an online forum about "wanting to help ISIS strike the 9/11 Memorial and target American soldiers in the Middle East," NBC New York reported Tuesday, citing information from law enforcement sources.


Bridges, a member of the Fort Stewart, Georgia-based Third Infantry Division, has been charged with attempting to kill U.S. soldiers and attempted material support for terror, the outlet reported.

Sources told the outlet Bridges watched ISIS-related videos online, and shot a video in which he stood in front of an ISIS flag.

The outlet couldn't immediately reach his attorney for comment.
