A former college student from the Chicago area was convicted Monday by a federal jury of attempting to provide material assistance to ISIS, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

Thomas Osadzinski, a 22-year-old former student at DePaul University, was accused of designing a computer script that would make it easier for the terrorist organization to spread its message on social media, according to a DOJ press release.
