Osbourn Park Student Charged With Aiding ISIS: Media Reports

A 17-year-old from Woodbridge has been charged by federal officials with recruiting for the Islamic State.

The teen allegedly helped a man not much older than himself travel to Syria to fight for ISIS, according to the Washington Post. On Friday, the FBI raided the townhouse where he lives with his family and took him into custody.

The juvenile’s name has not been released.

The teen, a student at Osbourn Park High School near Manassas, is charged as a juvenile. But federal prosecutors are working to get the teen charged as an adult, according to Washington, D.C., radio station WTOP.

Sources told WRC-TV Channel 4, a Washington TV station, that they fear the Osbourn Park student may have tried to recruit other students to join ISIS.
