A Durham man is facing up to 20 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.

Alexander Justin White, 29, was arrested on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, as he was preparing to board an international flight from RDU Airport to Morocco.

According to the complaint, White used an online account under the name 'Sulaiman Al-Amriki' to make numerous posts supporting ISIS and the concept of violent jihad.

The JTTF is a group of highly trained, locally based investigators, analysts, linguists, and other specialists from dozens of U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies that gather evidence, make arrests, provide security for special events, collect and share intelligence, and respond to threats and incidents at a moment's notice.

Alexander Justin White, 29, of Durham, North Carolina, has been charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
