The FBI arrested a man at his apartment complex in Houston, Texas after authorities say he attempted to support ISIS and planned a terrorist attack on American soil.
Authorities said 28-year-old Anas Said was searching for ways to commit violent acts on behalf of the Islamic State in the Houston area.
According to FBI Special Agent in Charge Douglas Williams Said has been charged with attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group.
Fox News reports more:
Williams said that while in custody, Said admitted to researching how to conduct an attack on local military recruiting centers, offering his home as sanctuary for ISIS operatives, bragging that he would commit a “9/11-style” attack if he had the resources and attempting to produce ISIS propaganda.
“We stopped a potential terrorist attack from happening right here in Houston! Any day we can publicly say that is a good day,” FBI Houston said.

Lots more we need to know.
Is he a U. S. citizen? An immigrant? Legal or illegal? Was he a terrorist before or after arriving here? How? By whom? Who else is involved in this?
The FIB is doing it’s job, for once. Taking a break from harassing pro-lifers and school board protesters.
Hmm seems to me that this shows that at least some of the boots on the ground agents are living up to their oaths and being diligent in doing their job instead of being political hacks like their ‘boss’. IMHO wray can’t be fired fast enough. Any bets that the dems already have a cushy ‘position’ lined up for him?
TO BAD THAT YOU COULD NOT HAVE SENT HIM TO MEET HIS ALLAH !
I could never imagine any man being changed by force saying, “Oh, that makes me happy. I will change my view.” Forced loyalty is not loyalty at all.
