WASHINGTON—U.S. prosecutors on Saturday said they charged a Saudi-born Canadian man for aiding the ISIS terrorist group, alleging he tossed grenades in battle and worked with propagandists who publicized the beheading of hostages including U.S. journalist James Foley.

The Department of Justice described the man, identified as Mohammed Khalifa, as a “leading figure” in the English-language media unit of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
