Seattle – A Seattle man was arrested on Friday at SeaTac Airport on criminal charges related to his alleged efforts to join ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Court documents say 20-year-old Elvin Williams of Seattle was arrested as he prepared to board a flight to Amsterdam and on to Egypt to join ISIS.
An investigation began in November when a member of a Seattle-area mosque contacted the FBI with concerns about Williams, saying he was deeply involved in ISIS propaganda.
Williams is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
