Anas Said, 28, was charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS.

Summary

Federal officials arrested Anas Said, 28, in Houston for allegedly planning a terrorist attack and supporting ISIS.

Charged with attempting to provide material support to the group, Said reportedly created ISIS propaganda, considered targeting U.S. military personnel, and researched synagogues and the Israeli Consulate in Houston.

He allegedly expressed intent to kill supporters of Israel and “proponents of Israel.” Federal documents show Said had been posting pro-ISIS content since 2017.

His lawyer argues the indictment lacks evidence of actual terrorism planning, focusing on his propaganda activities. The FBI continues to investigate.
