Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A Virginia teenager is planning for life in prison rather than his high school graduation after pleading guilty to helping ISIS.
Ali Shukri Amin, 17, admitted to authorities that he had used his computer to contact ISIS members and helped arrange for an 18-year-old classmate to travel to Syria to join the terrorists.
Amin pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS.
The teen said he ran the twitter handle @Amreekiwitness to “provide advice and encouragement to ISIL and its supporters.” He also taught followers of the terrorist group how to convert currency to Bitcoin so they could fund the terror group.
“Around the nation, we are seeing ISIL use social media to reach out from the other side of the world,” Assistant Attorney General Carlin said. “Their messages are reaching America in an attempt to radicalize, recruit and incite our youth and others to support ISIL’s violent causes.”
The FBI had been keeping the teenager under surveillance for over a month before they took him into custody.
“Today’s guilty plea demonstrates that those who use social media as a tool to provide support and resources to ISIL will be identified and prosecuted with no less vigilance than those who travel to take up arms with ISIL,” said U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente.
