Full story

A 28-year-old Houston man has been arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS and plotting a terrorist attack. FBI officials say Anas Said was apprehended after admitting to planning violence and offering his apartment as a sanctuary for ISIS operatives.

Said’s arrest follows a monthslong investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. Authorities say he researched ways to carry out an attack on local military recruiting centers, and expressed intentions to commit a “9/11-style” attack if he had the resources.

The FBI investigating after suspicious letters, some with fentanyl, were sent to election offices in at least five states this week.

Investigators also revealed that Said attempted to produce pro-ISIS propaganda, including images, videos and flyers.

The FBI began investigating Said after discovering his social media activity in support of ISIS, which escalated following the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel. Said reportedly expressed a desire to join the U.S. military to carry out an attack from within its ranks.

In addition to offering his home as a safe house for ISIS operatives, Said allegedly used encrypted messaging apps to coordinate his efforts to assist the terrorist group.

He is facing up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted.

Said was arrested on Nov. 8 and is scheduled for a detention hearing later today. The FBI’s investigation was supported by the Houston and Sugar Land Police Departments and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
