Another future jihadi in Virginia.
Via FOX 5:
Following an FBI raid of a Virginia home on Friday, new court documents show FBI investigators suspected the man living at the Loudoun County home of supporting ISIS and researching how to conduct an attack.
The suspect is Sean Andrew Duncan, a U.S. citizen from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who had moved to Sterling, Virginia in June 2017.
A relative of Duncan’s reportedly told investigators that he had had “converted to Islam, may have been radicalized, and voiced his approval of westerners being beheaded in the Middle East.”
Documents described how FBI investigators were able to track down Duncan through social media as well as encrypted message programs and apps.
They say Duncan had been using the Twitter handle “@DawlahtullIslaam” which “roughly translates to ‘The Islamic State.'”
Investigators also describe Duncan’s plans to travel to Turkey with his wife and make their way into Bangladesh. The two were denied entry to Turkey in February 2016, deported to the U.S. and questioned by the FBI upon return.
They say the phone also contained photos of machete knives. There were also searches for the “Black Flag” of ISIS and various assault rifles.
The FBI says the searches are “indicative of an individual planning and researching how to conduct an attack and defend himself from bodily harm.”
The FBI got more information on Duncan from a woman in custody of international authorities for actively planning to join ISIS, as well as a known ISIS recruiter, and an undercover FBI employee.
