[quote]A tip from citizen led to the arrest of a 22-year-old male in Huntsville who was charged Thursday with soliciting of providing support for an act of terrorism.

Huntsville said during a press conference that Aziz Sayed was taken into custody in the area of Church Street and Clinton Avenue this afternoon. Few details about the arrest were released but the police and the FBI are conducting a joint investigation on the case.

Authorities believe Sayed is an American citizen who lives in Huntsville. They do not know how long he has lived in the city since he is originally from North Carolina. Lt. Stacy Bates said a search warrant has been issued for a residence at Twickenham Village Apartments, where authorities believe the suspect has been staying.

"Both agencies want the community to know that this arrest eliminates any threat to the Huntsville community and Madison County area, including Redstone Arsenal," authorities said during the press release.[/quote]

To be fair, they caught this out-of-stater in your home town, so a net positive is that one of your home town residents called in the authorities and nabbed a potential terrorist, so go Huntsville! :smile:
