Houston teen arrested on charges of terrorism, accused of trying to help ISIS

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An 18-year-old Houston man is facing charges related to terrorism, accused of distributing instructions for making bombs and helping to support ISIS.

Kaan Sercan Damlarkaya was arrested on Friday. Authorities say in August, Damlarkaya was communicating online with undercover FBI agents and other sources. He reportedly told them he planned to go overseas to fight for ISIS. But if he couldn't do that, he allegedly planned to commit an attack in the U.S.

Damlarkaya provided instructions on how to build an AK-47 or AR-15 assault rifle from readily available parts in order to avoid detection from authorities, according to the criminal complaint.

Additionally, Damlarkaya provided a formula to alleged ISIS supporters for explosives and instructions on how to use them in a pressure cooker device that contained shrapnel, according to the allegations. He also discussed the use of a machete or Samurai sword as an alternative to a gun or explosive. The criminal complaint adds that he claimed to carry a knife in the event he was stopped by law enforcement and that he slept with a machete under his pillow in case his house was ever raided.

If convicted of unlawfully distributing explosives information or attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, Damlarkaya faces a possible 20-year maximum term of imprisonment. He made his first court appearance Monday morning.

Should be: Damlarkaya faces a possible 20-year maximum term of torture, with a lifetime of imprisonment.

Kaan Sercan Damlarkaya — Houston teen — yeah, right.

If an American teenager living in some foreign country got involved with the law, the local papers would not say "Berlin teen" or "London teen".

You can be darn sure their headlines would read "American teen".

First of all, he's not a "Houston man" he's a moslem.

Secondly, if he had been shot by a white cop, he'd he a teen. All of a sudden he's a "man."

Journalists lie to us in so many subtle ways.

another part of the 1% of America, Followers of Islam, which causes all kinds of trouble.

Isn’t it time we said no more?

Trumps travel ban is good, but it really needs to cover all Islamic Nations. No more Muslim refugees.

Yep...amazing, isn’t it? They’d make Goebbels and Hitler some kind of proud.
It will eventually come to a point where all they’re really good for is “decorating lampposts”. Can’t come soon enough, IMHO.

Kaan Sercan Damlarkaya

That's not a "teen's" name. His origin or that of his parents would seem to be India, Pakistan, or Bangla Desh.

Yeah, I have a problem with these types of stings. There's a strong stench of entrapment.

"Houston man"?????

ENOUGH OF THIS LSM BS!

Kaan Sercan Damlarkaya is no more American than Angela Merkle. Definitely NOT a Houstonian. The guy is an Alien, no matter his immigration status/history.

No. Not Turkce. It is from the subcontinent. I have a certain familiarity with Turkish names having spent a large portion of my youth in Istanbul.
