Law enforcement agencies have arrested nine Northern Virginia residents on charges of aiding the Islamic State (ISIS) since the terrorist group rose to power in Syria and Iraq in 2014 and launched social media propaganda to attract followers, a government message to police states.
The Washington Times reported on the arrests and stated that all but one were in their teens and early 20s.
The Washington Times further reported:
They included a police officer, a Starbucks barista, Army soldiers, bankers and a cabdriver. Four of the nine graduated from Northern Virginia high schools, one with honors. Two attended Northern Virginia Community College.
In other words, all of them appeared to have opportunities via public education to become successful Americans but instead were charged with what amounted to a devotion to violent jihad, namely, ISIS.
They are suspected of conducting terrorism planning through Twitter, Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp and other platforms and apps, as well as on prepaid phones.
“Local police are in a particularly difficult situation,” said Robert Maginnis, a retired Army officer and researcher on Islamism who lives in Northern Virginia. “They face a severe challenge by Islamists operating in the shadows of our open society. These mostly young male Muslims become radicalized either by Islamist imams at some of the thousands of mosques across America, at school, or over the ever-present internet sites that spew anti-West, anti-Christian hatred.”
The Washington Times profiled the nine arrested as Ali Shukir Amin, Reza Niknejad, Heather Coffman, Joseph Hassan Farrokh, Mahmound Amin Mohamed Elhassan, Mohamad Jamal Khweis, Mohammad Bilor Jalloh, Haris Qatar, and Nicholas Young.
