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.

2. so what happened to the people that gave them their training?

Are these gullible people that are being set up by our government? How do you arrest people for taking training and conspiring to joining the Taliban without anything happening to the people running the training camp?
