DALLAS — An FBI agent testified in federal court Friday that at least four aspiring jihadists conducted firearms training and discussed going to war against the United States on two weekend camping trips near Willis earlier this year.
"The group had discussions about traveling to Pakistan to engage (the) United States and coalition forces," Special Agent John McKinley, who is assigned to an international counterterrorism squad in Houston, told a federal judge.
McKinley, testifying during a detention hearing for 19-year-old Syed Maaz Shah, described how the group conducted paramilitary training, fired high-powered guns such as AR-15s, and referred to themselves as mujahedeen, or Muslims involved in a fight or struggle.
The group included two Houston-area men who were arrested and charged earlier this week with conspiracy to aid the Taliban.

... Shah is in the country illegally. He obtained a student visa in September 2005, when he began college, but the U.S. State Department revoked it last January.
