FBI: U.S. citizen arrested, intending to travel to Morocco, in attempt to join ISIS in Africa

Alexander Justin White, a U.S. citizen, was charged by federal authorities with supporting ISIS and later attempting to join the group, according to court documents that were unsealed earlier this week. Alleged in the complaint, between May and October of 2024, White used an online account under the name “Sulaiman Al-Amriki” to make numerous posts supporting ISIS and the concept of violent jihad. The FBI said the investigation lasted about seven months and local Moroccan media reported that the “investigation involved collaboration between US law enforcement agencies and Morocco’s General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST).”
