The FBI says it stopped a possible terrorist attack in Houston

Federal law enforcement officials said Thursday that they stopped a Texas man from carrying out a possible terrorist attack in Houston.

Federal law enforcement officials said Thursday that they stopped a Texas man from carrying out a possible terrorist attack in Houston.

"Any day we can publicly say that is a good day," the FBI's Houston field office said on social media.

Anas Said, 28, was charged last month with attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group ISIS, according to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Texas.

Said was arrested last week at the Houston apartment complex where he is alleged to have planned the attack, said the FBI, which accused him of bragging that he would commit "a 9/11-style" attack if he had the resources.

Said is alleged to have told federal agents that he created propaganda for the terrorist group, considered attacking members of the U.S. military and discussed researching the locations and physical layouts of synagogues and the Israeli Consulate in Houston, federal court documents show.
