The FBI is searching for a Northeastern University graduate who is accused of trying to recruit ISIS members using social media, WHDH reports.

Ahmad Abousamra, who is believed to be in Syria, has been added to the FBI’s met wanted terrorist list.

Authorities fear Abousamra may be waging an aggressive social media campaign with his background in communications.

Abousamra received training in Yemen and Pakistan to kill Americans, the FBI said.

“We have concerns that Ahmad Abousamra is still pursuing his desire to fight United States soldiers,” an FBI agent said.

In 2009, Abousamra was indicted on charges of conspiring with Al Qaeda.
