FIRST ON FOX: Two Michigan men have been charged in a foiled ISIS-inspired terror attack that allegedly would have involved a massacre in a Detroit suburb on Halloween, according to an FBI affidavit.

Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud are accused of plotting to launch a terror-inspired mass shooting codenamed "pumpkin," according to court documents. They've been charged with receiving, transferring and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.

Ali practiced shooting at a local gun range multiple times, including with Mahmoud, a juvenile suspect referred to as "Person 1" and under the alias "Athari" — and once with an unnamed "Co-conspirator 4," according to the complaint.

In one exchange, intercepted by law enforcement, according to an affidavit, the unnamed juvenile suspect allegedly insisted that the attack should take place on Halloween and not a later date.

"So ya, I talked to my brothers. We are going to do pumpkin," he allegedly told Ali. "I talked to...[Co-conspirator 4] and [Co-conspirator 5], they said it is getting bad. So we got to do pumpkin, ya."

Read it and weap, Rand Fans.


Before they could act, however, authorities served federal search warrants on both men’s homes and a storage unit in nearby Inkster, recovering three AR-15-style rifles, two shotguns, four pistols and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition, along with other evidence including GoPro cameras, tactical vests and other gear.

“With today’s unsealed criminal complaint, the American people can see the results of months of tireless investigative work where the FBI acted quickly and likely saved many lives,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital. “We’ll continue to follow the facts, uphold the law, and deliver justice for the American people.”

You can believe that these people are going to do a root cause analysis to figure out how this plot was uncovered. They’ll do better next time.

At least it was stopped before they could go all jihadi. The democrats would have waited till they killed pwople, then claim “They were on our radar!” and call for more gun control.

GWB was full of u-no-watt. The rest of the world has seen islam in action for the last 1400 years.

I have been to that gun range. There are not that many public ones in the area.

Sounds like someone at the range contacted law enforcement.

WOW! Thanks for posting. Fabulous detail of the complaint at the source. HOORAY F.B.I., Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, USCBP, local law enforcement and all others involved.

GREAT work!

25 George W. Bush Quotes about Islam and Muslims

This selected excerpts was odiferous like week old fish when Jorge first expounded. Today, this asinine tribute to President Bush reeks doubly foul.

A muzz with three optical sights on an AR and no back-up irons waves a red flag. Not sure about what, but somethin’ ain’t right.

Photo of Mohmed Ali at source. It doesn’t look like he missed too many of his SNAP card meals.
