Miami:
An American who allegedly claimed to be an Islamic State sympathizer and wanted to shoot people has been arrested on charges of illegal arms possession, the FBI said in a court filing.
Miguel Moran Diaz, 46, was arrested April 2 after discussing his plans to kill people with an FBI informant, the agency said in a criminal complaint.
"During the ensuing conversation, Diaz described himself as a 'Lone Wolf' for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)," the complaint alleged.
It said he kept a Facebook page under the name Azizi Al Hariri in which he published articles about IS.
Moran Diaz, who was convicted in 2005 of cocaine trafficking, was charged with violating a law that prohibits felons from carrying weapons.
The affidavit said a search of his apartment turned up additional weapons.
His arrest was the latest in a string targeting suspected supporters in the United States of Islamic extremist groups like IS.
