[SDTX] Anas Said, a 28-year-old resident of Houston, was indicted for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). According to court documents, multiple social media accounts linked to Said contained messages and posts that allegedly revealed that Said supported ISIS and the violent attacks carried out in its name. Law enforcement executed searches of Said and his residence, vehicle and electronic devices. According to court documents, analysis of the seized devices ultimately revealed Said's activities relating to the creation and dissemination of propaganda on behalf of ISIS. If convicted, Said faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
