Dallas — Federal prosecutors charged a 21-year-old Texas man this week after investigators say he delivered bomb-making components, cash and explosive instructions to undercover officers he believed were Islamic State supporters. Authorities allege the Dec. 22 meeting followed months of online contact that began in mid‑October when a New‑York Police Department undercover account identified pro‑ISIS content linked to the suspect. The Justice Department filed international terrorism charges Dec. 29 and court proceedings began Dec. 23 with a probable cause hearing set. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
