General Info:
Kristopher Matthews (also known as Ali Jibreel) is a resident of Elgin, South Carolina, used an encrypted messaging application last year to find an Islamic State facilitator outside the United States to help him travel to Syria and recruit additional members who support the Islamic State ideology.

Matthews also used social media platforms, some public, to radicalize and recruit other online users to join the Islamic State.

He said he preferred hitting economic centers and government buildings, including CIA headquarters, the FBI and DEA headquarters.

Matthews told covert employees in the encrypted chat that they could use a “multi wave attack strategy” to carry out the attacks.
