Federal agents in Michigan arrested two men accused of plotting a terror attack targeting LGBTQ+ bars in Ferndale, a Detroit suburb, inspired by ISIS ideology.
Suspects Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud allegedly purchased multiple guns and over 1,600 rounds of ammunition, training at gun ranges and scouting venues that cater to the LGBTQ+ community.
Authorities say an unidentified minor played a significant role in the planning, which included discussions on encrypted platforms and in person meetings to avoid detection.
The FBI intervened before the suspects could act, seizing firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear during a pre-dawn raid on Halloween.
Both men face charges of illegally transferring firearms and ammunition with terror intent and could receive up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Community leaders and advocacy groups have raised concerns about the broader impact on Dearborn's Arab and Muslim community, urging transparency from law enforcement as the case proceeds.?
