(WRAL) A Durham man on Tuesday pleaded guilty to aiding and attempting to join the terrorist group ISIS months earlier.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Alexander Justin White pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide and attempting material support to ISIS.

White, 29, was arrested on Dec. 4, 2024, inside Raleigh-Durham International Airport as he attempted to board a plane to join the group in Morocco.

“In this case, the great work of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) was on display, leading to the apprehension and arrest of an individual planning to join ISIS and potentially engage in terrorist acts against the United States or other allies,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel Bubar. “This is just one example of how the JTTF’s tireless work protects our communities.”
