A 17-year-old boy from West Philadelphia has been arrested and charged in an ongoing terrorism investigation following an FBI raid at a home along Woodbine Avenue on Friday. He is accused of communicating with a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
A law enforcement official told NBC10 that the case involves a boy who was radicalized online. No one else in the teen's family is believed to be involved in terrorist activities, officials said.
