He began making the tweets during the summer of 2014. An FBI statement about the apprehension read: The alleged activities of Cornell highlight the continued interest of US-based violent extremists to support designated foreign terrorist organizations overseas, such as ISIL, by committing terrorist acts in the United States. Terrorist group members and supporters will almost certainly continue to use social media platforms to disseminate English language violent extremist messages. The FBI criminal complaint says that Cornell is charged with the attempted killing of a U.S. government officer, possession of firearm in furtherance of attempted crime of violence.
