Michigan Army National Guard member was inspired by Islamic State. The FBI has arrested a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard who prosecutors said was inspired by Islamic State to plan a mass shooting at a military base outside Detroit. Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19 years old, spent months plotting to attack the facility with the help of two people he believed were ISIS supporters, but who were actually undercover agents, according to a criminal complaint. Agents arrested Said just before he allegedly intended to attack on Tuesday, when he launched a drone over the base to conduct aerial surveillance. He was scheduled to appear in federal court in Detroit later Wednesday.

If Trump wasn’t President would the FBI let their guy carry out his mission then claim he was “on their radar”?

TACOM isn’t a military base. It’s “a Major Subordinate Command of Army Materiel Command, manages the Army’s ground equipment supply chain, which constitutes about 60 percent of the Army’s total equipment. If a Soldier drives it, shoots it, wears it or eats it, we sustain it.”

Of course. Then they would protect his identity, scrub his social media and allow the press to turn this into a gun control issue.

Who are his friends, siblings, parents? What mosque did he frequent? What clues necessitated an undercover operation? How was he able to gain employment? Did any background check fail? Lots of questions.

So, a couple of Homeland Security agents befriend an idiot, talk him into planning an attack, then charge him with terrorism.

Why don’t I feel safer?

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said
Surprised there aren’t protests against arresting a “Michigan Man”.
Did he enlist in the MNG as John Smith, or do they just not care who they let in?
This is beyond ridiculous!

If the Feds are involved, so is entrapment.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19 years old,

If this is your name, you should NOT be in the US military.
