(KHOU) FBI Houston on Thursday announced the arrest of a man they say tried to provide support to ISIS and admitted to planning a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Documents show he was also connected to a plot to harm former President George W. Bush.
Authorities said 28-year-old Anas Said was doing this all from his apartment in far west Houston.
U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani said Said was born in Houston but his family then moved back to their native Lebanon until September 2014.
The FBI said Said admitted to researching how to attack local military recruiting centers, offering his home to ISIS operatives, and bragging that he would commit a “9/11-style” attack if he had the resources. He also attempted to produce ISIS propaganda.
