A teenager from Pennsylvania has been arrested after it was discovered he had more than 50 pro-ISIS Twitter accounts and also threatened to ‘sever’ President Barack Obama inside the White House.
Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz, 19, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was arrested after federal anti-terror agents raided the $122,000 three-bedroom home he shares with his parents after tracking down the IP address used on his allegedly pro-terror Twitter accounts.
According to documents lodged at the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Aziz ‘espouses violent jihadist beliefs and is a fervent supporter of a foreign terrorist organisation known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant’.
Aziz is accused of conspiring with others to travel to Syria to fight with ISIS, while trying to radicalise and recruit others to his cause.
During a raid at his home on November 27, officers recovered ‘a tactical-style backpack’ in his closet. The bag contained ‘five M4-style high-capacity magazines loaded with 5.56 ammunition, a modified kitchen knife with the handle removed’.
He also had a balaclava of a ‘similar style worn by ISIS members to hide their identities’.
It is also alleged that Aziz posted the personal details, including the addresses of 100 US military members online.
The FBI believes that Aziz was in direct contact with ISIS members in the Middle East and passed one suspect, named CC-1 a Turkish phone number which was located close to the Syrian border.
