“A Virginia teenager who ran a pro-ISIS Twitter account and helped a friend travel to Syria to join the Islamist group was sentenced this morning to 11 years and four months in prison. Ali Amin, 17, faced a maximum sentence of 15 years.
The Washington Post reports that Amin, who pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, tweeted approximately 7,000 times from the apparently pro-ISIS account @AmreekiWitness, which had more than 4,000 followers and has since been suspended. He also introduced his friend Reza Niknejad to ISIS members online, and helped the 18-year-old travel to join the militia in Syria.”
