A Northern California man faces several decades in prison after admitting to setting up social media accounts to support the Islamic State group, prosecutors said.

Amer Alhaggagi, 23, of Oakland, pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this year to trying to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, possession of device-making equipment and identity theft, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI.

Expert: California man convicted in terror case no extremist

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California man convicted of attempting to support the Islamic State does not have the attributes of an Islamic extremist despite his discussions about making bombs and planning terror attacks, a former CIA employee who studies terror networks testified Monday.

Marc Sageman described Amer Alhaggagi at a sentencing hearing as an internet troll who talked big to get a reaction out of people and look tough, but took no real action.

"He's a fabulist. He spins tales," said Sageman, who evaluated Alhaggagi for the defense. "He wants to show that he's a mean guy, but he's really a coward. He really doesn't do anything."

Alhaggagi, 23, pleaded guilty in July to creating social media accounts for Islamic State supporters. Prosecutors paint a darker picture of him, saying he accessed an Islamic State bomb-making manual and boasted about a series of attacks he wanted to commit on behalf of the group, including setting off a car bomb outside a gay nightclub.  ...

How sad for him. A wall wouldn't stop him. We need to understand what makes them this way.
