“This case serves as a reminder that no area is immune to violence or the threat of violence. Resolving potential threats like this one before they occur is always our ultimate goal.”

A Houston-area man, who the FBI says was prepared to launch his nationwide “American Insurgent Movement” here by robbing an armored car, killing a trooper, and spraying a mosque with gunfire, pleaded guilty Friday.
"We must rebel. Blood and bullets are the only two things that will change this world, short of divine action," Robert Talbot Jr. wrote online in an effort to attract recruits to join him.
Talbot, 38, admitted to his crimes during a Friday hearing as he stood before U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. Those include attempted interference with commerce by robbery and solicitation to commit a crime of violence. He faces up to 20 years when sentenced.
“This case serves as a reminder that no area is immune to violence or the threat of violence,” said Perrye K. Turner, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Houston Division. “Resolving potential threats like this one before they occur is always our ultimate goal.”
Talbot, who was from New York and had recently moved to Katy, was arrested in March, following an eight-month under cover investigation by the FBI Houston Division Domestic Joint Terrorism Task Force.
He was cuffed in March outside a Houston storage locker on the morning he was to launch his first attack.
