Updated 59m agoUpdated at 9:38 a.m. ET: KCEN-TV reports that explosives were found in the soldier's car. The TV station quotes Ft. Hood officials as saying the soldier is not stationed there.
Original posting: An AWOL soldier described by police as armed and dangerous has been arrested inKilleen, Texas, near Ft. Hood.
There are conflicting media reports surrounding the arrest.
Fox News, in its report, quotes an Army source as saying a U.S. military serviceman has been arrested in Killeen for allegedly planning another attack on the Army base.
KCEN-TV, meanwhile, says an AWOL soldier was arrested in the town on a warrant on child porn charges. KCEN says police considered the soldier armed and dangerous.
It was not immediately clear if the soldier is the same one identified in the Fox report. KCEN did not mention any plot involving Ft. Hood.
Fox News, quoting another unidentified source, also reports that two other U.S. soldiers were arrested earlier today when they were found in possession of weapons and explosives.
Maj. Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army military psychiatrist, is on trial for killing 13 people and wounding 30 in the Ft. Hood shooting in November, 2009.
