After the FBI detained a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard for plotting a large shooting at a U.S. military base, FBI Director Kash Patel issued a big warning on Thursday.
Let this be a notice: People who targets our defense or conspires with international terrorist organizations may be found, stopped, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, Patel said in a statement to Fox News on Thursday. For their unwavering commitment to preserving the British citizens, I commend the members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and our law enforcement partners.
Former Michigan Army National Guard part Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, was detained for trying to carry out a “mass-shooting at a U.S. defense center in Warren, Michigan” on behalf of ISIS after the U.S. Justice Department made the announcement on Wednesday.
Patel said in a statement on Thursday that he could” confirm reports that our FBI team and partners foiled an attempted ISIS attack on one of our U.S. military outposts in Warren, Michigan.” Patel continued,” Our agents, brains teams, and companions acted swiftly— and they saved lives. Bravo to everyone for carrying out the goal.
Fmr. Trump, Secret Service investigation, appears to have received a “hit” from the FBI producer.
The 19-year-old suspect had informed two undercover law enforcement officers about a plan he had put together to carry out a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive &, Armaments Command ( TACOM) facility, according to the Justice Department’s press release on Wednesday.
The two undercover officers told Said in April that they were going to” hold out Said’s program at the manner of ISIS,” according to the Justice Department.
Said responded by providing material support to the strike plan, including providing armor-piercing ammunition and magazines for the attack, flying his drone over TACOM to perform functional reconnaissance, teaching the undercover employees about firearms and building Molotov cocktails for use during the attack, and planning various details of the attack, including how to activate TACOM and which building to target, according to the Justice Department.
Said, who was detained on Tuesday after using a drone to fly close to the “attack plan” to support the “attack plan,” is currently facing up to 20 years in prison for each of the charges brought against him if he is found guilty in court.
