Alexander Justin White , a U.S. citizen from Durham , North Carolina , is accused of providing, attempting and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization by federal prosecutors.

White 's Dec. 4 arrest came after a monthslong investigation into numerous pro-IS messages that prosecutors say the 29-year-old sent to various Facebook users and an undercover FBI agent.

White, who went by Sulaiman Al-Amriki — which means Sulaiman the American — on social media for part of last year , was arrested while trying to board an overseas flight.
