Sifted through mobile phone contents of #IslamicState supporter from #Belgium, released by @GhostSquadHack. 19 y/o male from Antwerp, who tried in vain to reach #Syria in 2016 and was arrested shortly after on suspicion of plotting an attack at home (1/6) hln.be/nieuws/binnenl…
He spent some time in a juvenile institution, but while 2 recruiters and 3 co-conspirators were convicted in December 2017, he wasn’t prosecuted because of his minor age. Recent contents of his phone show that he isn’t deradicalized, nor disengaged (2/6) 
It contained a notorious #IslamicState video demonstrating how to make TATP at home and behead a human being most efficiently, a flyer pleading for the release of #Shariah4Belgium founder Fouad Belkacem, and lots of other jihadist stuff (3/6)
In October of last year, he shared a picture of his torn up convocation letter for the local elections. Voting is compulsory in Belgium, so this is a meaningful signal of resistance against democracy (4/6)
In his sms conversations, he was called “my sexy hobbit” by his convert wife. And while he was hopping from one interim job to another, he admitted to his wife that he had falsified a doctor’s certificate allowing him to stay away from work (5/6)
They also chatted about getting him a false diploma and knew a person who could help. “He can do it for 575 euros, but he needs an example of someone else”, his wife told him. “Which is a bit ridiculous, because a hacker should be able to get in that database himself” (6/6)
