Texas Man Charged With International Terrorism
A young man from Texas thought he was helping a friend from ISIS.
He met someone he thought was part of ISIS, but it was actually an FBI agent.
He gave this person parts for making bombs and even showed how to make a bomb.
Now, he is in trouble with the law for helping a terrorist group.
The FBI caught him because they were pretending to be ISIS members.
John Michael Garza Jr., a 21-year-old from Midlothian, Texas, was charged with providing material support to ISIS.
On December 22, Garza met with an undercover FBI agent whom he believed to be an ISIS member.
