A Northern Virginia man known for threatening the creators of “South Park” is scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday afternoon to aiding the Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab.
A plea agreement hearing for Zachary A. Chesser, 20, is set to take place in federal court in Alexandria.

Authorities say Chesser once attempted to board a plane with his infant son in order to avoid detection.
