HOUSTON - A Houston man and a Pakistani living illegally in the United States have been arrested and charged with plotting to join the Taliban and fight U.S. forces in Afghanistan, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
Kobie Diallo Williams, 33, and Adnan Babar Mirza, 29, underwent training in guns and reconnaissance in the Houston area in preparation for joining up with the Taliban, prosecutors said.
The two men were charged with conspiracy. Mirza, a Pakistani who overstayed a student visa, also was charged with violating federal gun laws.
Williams, a U.S. citizen, surrendered Tuesday to members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. Mirza was already in custody on immigration violations.
