A 20-year-old US citizen has been charged with attempting to explode a car bomb at Fort Riley in Manhattan, Kansas.

John T Booker Jr was making final preparations to carry out the suicide attack on behalf of the Islamic State (IS), the FBI said.

Booker previously had tried to join the US Army, but was denied entry because of internet posts about “jihad”.

Authorities say that US personnel were never in danger.
