FBI Says They Thwarted A '9/11-Style' Terror Attack Plot on US Soil
|

This looks more like another small fry wannabe talking big to impress his new best friend than a well-planned, multiple jihadi 9/11-style attack. As Europe reels under multi-city riots with Jew hunts, we in America have much to be grateful for. [Townhall] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) foiled a "9/11-style" terror attack plot that was meant to unfold on U.S. soil.
Anas Said, 28, of Houston, Texas, is accused of plotting a terrorist attack in the city and trying to provide material support to ISIS.
FBI Houston says the now-thwarted plot was part of Said's plans to commit various violent mostly peaceful acts on behalf of ISIS.
According to authorities, Said admitted to researching how to conduct an attack on local military recruiting centers, offering up his home as a safe sanctuary to ISIS operatives, bragging about carrying out a "9/11-style" attack if he had the resources, and attempting to produce ISIS propaganda.
Said was taken into custody on Nov. 8 at his Houston apartment complex, the location where he allegedly devised the scheme.
FBI officials announced Said's arrest at a news conference Thursday morning.
"Today is a great day. We've taken a suspected terrorist off the streets of Houston," FBI Houston special agent in charge Douglas Williams told news hounds.
U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani explained that Said was born in Houston but moved to Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, his family's home country, and spent "a good part of his childhood" there.
Hamdani said when agents confronted Said, he threw his cell phone against the ground in an attempt to smash it.
A search of Said's devices revealed pro-ISIS images and messages, including communications with the official media outlet for ISIS, according to Hamdani. Said allegedly created at least five videos and two images that he sent to an ISIS social media and web designer for distribution.
Said's laptop allegedly contained files of instructions on how to prepare C4 explosives, use a remote detonator, and prepare other various explosives.
Said has been on the FBI Houston Joint Terrorist Task Force's radar since 2017. Authorities noticed Said because he ordered two stickers with pro-ISIS messaging: one displaying the ISIS flag and another showing a silhouette of a man holding a rifle with the caption, "Winning the Islamic Nation."
"Our early investigation determined Said frequently viewed ISIS literature and other online propaganda," Williams said.
When the FBI questioned Said in 2018, he claimed that he did not support ISIS killings. However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
he admitted to visiting ISIS media websites and said the terrorist organization was "waking people up." Said was questioned four times by the FBI that year in relation to the pro-ISIS sticker purchases.
Then, the October 7 Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
attack on Israel spurred Said toward violence, Williams said, and he was accordingly pushed to the top of the FBI's priority list of national security threats.
Said allegedly also wanted to target a Jewish group in Houston that supports Israel by impersonating a donor to meet with the organization's director and assaulting them if they didn't acquiesce.
Williams said Said confessed to wanting to use explosives to commit a mass killing in the Houston area. His strategy involved joining the U.S. military just so he could carry out violence once inside their ranks, Williams stated.
An undercover FBI agent allegedly asked Said if he would make and use an boom belt.
"If I did, it would be very easy. I would shave my beard and hair, put on a military uniform for camouflage, and go inside and push the button. Everything will turn into grilled meat," Said allegedly said.
Court documents show Said is also connected to a separate plot to harm former President George W. Bush, according to Austin-based TV station KVUE. Said allegedly told the undercover FBI agent he had offered to house men who "attempted to enter Texas to kill 'Bush,' but that plot was not successful."
Said also allegedly said Bush and President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier ...
were "too old" to kill and that "it would be wasteful to use a bullet on them."
Said has a detention hearing on Thursday afternoon in federal court.
Despite Said's alleged crimes, he doesn't have any negative feelings about the U.S., said Zuniga.
"I would not say that at all," he said. "I think that he is certainly passionate about protecting his Islamic religion. I don't think he has any particular animosity toward the United States itself."
In a 2019 FBI interview, Said claimed "he no longer consumed radical Islamic propaganda and only used the internet for schoolwork and for watching sports," according to the memo.

That wasn't true, according to the DOJ.
"On or about October 18, 2023, pursuant to legal process, FBI received information from Meta Platforms, Inc. ('Meta') regarding 11 Facebook accounts used by the Defendant that showed he continued to support ISIS and the violent attacks carried out in its name," according to the DOJ.
His family members "expressed their concerns" in FBI interviews, and "subsequent analysis of the Defendant’s electronic devices revealed multiple encrypted messaging applications containing records of his efforts to create and disseminate propaganda that glorified ISIS’s ongoing violence, the evidence underlying the material support offense charged in the indictment," the department alleged.
Said allegedly refused to comply with FBI agents who executed a search warrant against him last Friday, and he smashed his cellphone.
