HOUSTON — 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.
Authorities said 28-year-old Anas Said was doing this all from his apartment in far west Houston.
The FBI said Said admitted to researching how to carry out an attack on local military recruiting centers, offering his home as a sanctuary for ISIS operatives, bragging that he would commit a "9/11-style" attack if he had the resources to do so. He also attempted to produce ISIS propaganda.
Said is charged with providing material support to ISIS.
"We've taken a suspected terrorist off the streets of Houston," authorities said at a Thursday news conference.

Was he born here, or did he hop on a plane from Abbey Gate?

“Anas Said” doesn’t seem like he was named after someone in the Alamo.
