Federal prosecutors say the FBI has broken up an ISIS-linked network stretching from Michigan to New Jersey, charging several young men in a coordinated investigation that allegedly involved plans for a Halloween mass shooting and efforts to join the Islamic State abroad.
Tomas Jimenez-Guzel, 19, of Montclair, New Jersey, and Saed Mirreh, 19, of Kent, Washington, were arrested this week in a New Jersey case tied to others already charged in Michigan.
The Justice Department announced the new charges Wednesday, calling the probe a "sprawling federal investigation" into extremists who used encrypted messaging to communicate. U.S. Attorney Alina Habba said the New Jersey defendants "had pledged themselves to ISIS" and were in "frequent communication with the Michigan cell."
"We will continue to move swiftly and decisively whenever terrorism or hate threatens our communities," Habba said Friday. "The threat of terrorism is real when Americans are threatened. We respond fast, focused and together."
A 93-page complaint filed Nov. 5 in the Eastern District of Michigan charges Ayob Asamil Nasser and brothers Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS. Prosecutors say the trio stockpiled AR-15-style rifles, shotguns, handguns and about 1,680 rounds of ammunition, referring to their plan as "pumpkin," code for a Halloween day attack. Also charged is Milo Sedarat, 21, of New Jersey.
Agents say they trained at Detroit-area ranges, shared ISIS propaganda and discussed targeting LGBTQ bars in Ferndale and a Jewish center. During the Oct. 31 raids, the FBI seized tactical vests, GoPro cameras and magazines from homes and a U-Haul storage unit.

Their “jihad” was to try to kill as many Americans as they could. Now it will be to try to avoid getting raped and brutalized in prison. FAFO strikes again.
These two young Wannabe Terrorists would not have needed any school loans. They both come from wealthy, highly educated families.
From family photos, it looks that both are close to their parents, but apparently, nobody picked up on how radical, racist and devoted to violence the Boys had privately become until it was very nearly too late.
Shooting ranges should begin monitoring Arabs-Muslims.
“calling the probe a “sprawling federal investigation” into extremists who used encrypted messaging to communicate.”
They just had to add this little poke. They are slowly painting anyone who uses encrypted communication as Extremists and Terrorists. And if this is repeated enough the ignorant will be brainwashed into letting them outlaw encrypted communications so they can invade OUR privacy easier.
CELLPHONES & COMPUTERS GIVE THEM FAAAR TOO MUCH PRIVACY.
PARENTS NOT PAYING ATTENTION -—TOO BUSY PLAYING “CANDY CRUSH”???
I AM OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN A PHONE WAS AN INSTRUMENT OF COMMUNICATION===
ALL THE WAS BACK TO THE PHONE ON THE KITCHEN WALL—CRANK—OUR “NUMBER” WAS 2 LONGS & A SHORT.....
NOT KIDDING
NEVER HAD A CELL PHONE ——— NEVER WILL
“Too much privacy” for most dependent children!
The truth is when it comes to raising kids and maintaining a functional family, it’s kind of a dictatorship until the children are old enough to start paying bills. Absolute democracy in a household usually equals anarchy, anti-social feral behavior, emotional repression and detachment or the sloth which often leads to substance abuse.
There is a place for household rules: obedience to authority figures, cooperation and courtesy to those living with you, whether you are in the mood to consider other people or not.
These young men were not considering how their actions will deeply effect their families from now on. No doubt the parents are devastated, even though they may be uber liberal, no one expects this, when by all appearances, the 19 y/o were “doing just fine”.
