Joshua Ryne Goldberg

Joshua Ryne Goldberg (born May 14, 1995) is an American internet troll, convicted of attempting a bombing on the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, while posing as an Islamist terrorist affiliated with ISIS.

The "Australi Witness" persona, had, posing as a Perth jihadist, called for an attack on, and posted maps of, the center where the exhibit was taking place, praised the jihadist attackers in its aftermath, and was retweeted by one of the assailants before the attack. He also claimed credit for the attack.

Goldberg also planned terrorist attacks in Australia.
