The FBI was searching his home as part of an investigation into possible \u201cattempts to provide material support for a terror organization,\u201d according to NBC.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents suggest that Duncan may have converted to Islam and become interested in joining ISIS and carrying out an attack in the U.S.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, looking at the above picture, I don&#8217;t think &#8220;may have converted to Islam&#8221; is very much in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/wtop.com\/loudoun-county\/2017\/12\/sterling-man-arrested-fbi-investigation-possible-isis-supporter\/\">WTOP<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The documents said that when FBI agents knocked on the front door with their search warrant, Duncan ran out of the back door barefoot with \u201csomething clenched in his fist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agents yelled at Duncan to stop, but before he did he threw a plastic bag over their heads. The documents say the bag contained a memory chip from a thumb drive that \u201chad been snapped into pieces and placed in a liquid substance that produced frothy white bubbles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FBI had been investigating Duncan for more than a year.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan and his wife attempted to travel to Turkey in February 2016, but were denied entry and sent back to the U.S. Upon returning, they were interviewed by the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>A relative of Duncan also warned the FBI that they feared he had become radicalized because he had voiced approval of westerners being beheaded in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>When the FBI searched Twitter in December, they found an account created in November 2015 that linked to Duncan\u2019s phone. The Twitter account had a handle with an Arabic phrase that roughly translated to \u201cThe Islamic State.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, the investigation of the death of Duncan&#8217;s infant son uncovered the ISIS connections. One of these days, the feds are going to run out of luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Time, Sean Andrew Duncan, a Sterling, Virginia man was arrested by Federal officers on &hellip; <a title=\"Sean Andrew Duncan, arrested for destroying evidence\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76868\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sean Andrew Duncan, arrested for destroying evidence<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/76869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
