Pennsylvania teen hit with new Islamic State-related charges
NEW YORK | BY JOSEPH AX
A Pennsylvania teenager indicted for supporting Islamic State was hit with fresh terrorism charges on Wednesday, as U.S. prosecutors accused him of posting online the names of approximately 100 U.S. military members and exhorting his followers to kill them.
Jalil Aziz, 19, used his Twitter account to release the names, addresses, photographs and military branches of the U.S. service members, according to a superseding indictment filed in federal court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Aziz told his followers to "kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their street thinking that they are safe," according to authorities.
The information had previously been posted online by supporters of Islamic State, according to Aziz's defense lawyer, Thomas Thornton, who emphasized that the new charges are based on the same alleged acts that led to the initial indictment.
