(WRAL) A Durham man was charged by federal authorities with supporting ISIS and later attempting to join the group, according to court documents that were unsealed on Tuesday.
According to federal prosecutors, 29-year-old Alexander Justin White, who went by the name Sulaiman Al-Amriki online, started posting his support for ISIS on his Facebook account between May and October 2024.
Court documents submitted by prosecutors also claim White, who lived on University Drive in Durham, posted a video in July 2024 on his Facebook page “glorifying what is assessed to be ISIS.” White also sent an undercover federal agent a screenshot of a pro-ISIS EMA channel claiming to fundraise for detained ISIS members and their dependents.
