FBI arrests man who planned to shoot up Mall of America in support of Islamic State group

Federal authorities have arrested a man accused of plotting a terrorist attack at Mall of America and pledging his allegiance to the Islamic State group.

According to an affidavit unsealed on Wednesday, FBI agents arrested 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud on Tuesday directly after he purchased an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition with the stated intent of carrying out a mass shooting.

The criminal complaint alleges Mohamud had messaged an informant for nearly two years, discussing his hatred of non-Muslims and his desire to align with an Islamic terror group. He floated the idea of joining al Qaeda and al Shabaab before deciding to lend his support to the Islamic State.

Mohamud repeatedly expressed his admiration for Islamic terrorist attacks, including the New Year’s Eve 2024 attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans; the 2017 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida; and the 2025 mass shooting during a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

It's very ‘surprising’ that so many of these people caught committing or plotting to commit such acts have names like ‘Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud’. This should be studied to uncover any links.

~~~

Three things:

1) Military operations that turn into occupations with insurgencies and “nation building” (that never works).

2) Rules of engagement. It may be three words, but it’s a four letter word when it comes to asymetric war.

3) Obama and Biden

There is a reason the light rail that goes to the Mall of America is called “The Somali Trolly”
Q: Why do Bloomington residents never go the Mall of America bars?
A: Because its easier and less painful to get bombed at home.

What’s going to happen when these idiots get smart enough to stop talking about their plans. Either online or with an informant.

Mostly Somalis at the Mall of America anyway. Too stupid to realize most of the targets are his own kind.
