A soldier stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas is facing federal charges of using social media to send instructions on how to make a bomb.

Private First Class Jarrett Smith, 24, from Fort Riley, Kansas, faces up to 20 years in prison if he’s convicted.

He also wanted to travel to the Ukraine to fight with a paramilitary group called the Azov Battalion.
