FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson reports he will appear before a judge today:

Securing America.

30-year-old Phoenix native Eric Harroun joined a rebel group in Syria earlier this year.

(E. Harroun) “Bashar Assad, this is what’s left of your Air Force!”

Harroun took video of himself going after a downed Syrian helicopter. ?But while he fought against the Syrian government – which the U.S. opposes – Harroun apparently fought with a rebel group that the U.S. says is affiliated with al-Qaeda.

(D. Harroun) “Absolutely not. ?He would never do that.”

…Harroun’s father, Darryl, defending his son. ?Eric Harroun’s also accused of firing a rocket-propelled grenade while in Syria. ?That, according to U.S. law, is illegal, regardless of where it happens.
