Williams, also known as Abdul Kabir, was a student at the University of Houston-Downtown when he was arrested in November 2006 by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. He had pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge right after his arrest.
Authorities say Williams was among a group of men who took part in paramilitary training exercises. The training was disguised as camping trips and was designed to hone skills to help the Taliban fight U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.
