(CNN)Hasher Taheb, 21, of Cumming, Georgia, was arrested in connection with a plot to attack the White House and other federal buildings, US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia BJay Pak said Wednesday.

Pak told reporters at a media briefing that Taheb planned to attack the White House and other locations using explosives that included a homemade explosive and an anti-tank rocket. Taheb was investigated after officials received a tip from the community Pak said. Chris Hacker, FBI special agent in charge of the Atlanta office, said the investigation took more than a year. Taheb was acting alone, he said.

Sorry. I don’t trust the FBI. They set up these dumb guys and pretend they saved the day. Pretty good timing, huh?

Not Lewis’ district, hare core Republican Forsyth County. I am curious too how a 21 year old with a wife and two kids could afford such a nice house and neighborhood.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not a member of any sites that offer personal info, but on one site, I was able to hover my mouse over the names of who the mother is related to, and came up with these:

Abdul Samad Shaker
Abdullah Shaker
Ahmad Jamal Taheb
Flourence Taheb
Hasher Taheb
Homayoyoun M. Taheb
Nasser K. Taheb
Taheba Meina Taheb
Najia A. Zalmiyar

I tried searching for some of them, but Taheb could be common name both here, and Pakistan, which is where I believe the family comes from. There is a Homayoyoun M. Taheb (first name spelled slightly different) shows up in San Diego, which is where the family lived before moving to Georgia. If it's the same person, he's had legal problems, and doesn't get a good rating.

Najia A. Zalmiyar lives in Snellville, Ga., but previously lived in Lawrenceville, Ga. She's listed as a Republican. Maybe she move to Snellville to get away from the rest of the family.

And how many are now in Congress?
