FBI Thwarts ISIS-Inspired Michigan Attack, Arrests Made

FBI Thwarts Potential Terrorist Attack in Michigan: Two Men Arrested for ISIS-Inspired PlotTwo U.S. citizens, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, were arrested for allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired Halloween attack in Michigan. They acquired weapons and a device to increase firing rate. Two nineteen-year-olds from New Jersey were also arrested in connection with the plot. The men practiced shooting at firing ranges, used encrypted communications, and shared extremist materials. The FBI found multiple weapons and ammunition during searches. The investigation began in 2024 after a co-conspirator's phone revealed Google searches for ISIS and images of the individual in military-style clothing with weapons. The men allegedly discussed traveling to Syria to join ISIS but decided to stay in the U.S. to carry out an attack. Prosecutors are expected to release more details as the suspects appear in federal court. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
