Um...

Until this guy gets convicted of a crime in the US, the FCC won't have
much to say...

So, are you saying he violated US law? If not then what's the point?

The US Government tends to frown on US citizens providing material
support

Then, get the guy convicted of a crime and *then* complain to the FCC
about his license... The FCC is not in the business of enforcing all
the laws of the US, just the ones they wrote.

If it involves illegal transmission by a US citizen or resident of
electromagnetic waves anywhere, between 3000Hz and light waves, it is within
the FCC's scope to take action.

If the action violates US law and occured on US soil, the FCC can take
action.

If not, the foreign government can prosecute if the offender is on their
soil, or if not and there is a treaty, ask the US for extradition of the
offender, none of which would involve the FCC.

The FCC has no jurisdiction over anything that happens on foreign soil.

The FCC could take action after the person was convicted by a foreign
government under the various character clauses.
