From Fox News: The FBI thwarted a massive terror attack in October that prevented the killing of countless Americans and exposed a global terror network through their investigative strategy that led to “some of the most impactful arrests” in the counterterrorism program in recent years.
Fox News Digital sat down Thursday for an exclusive interview with FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and a senior agent official with direct involvement in counterterrorism cases.
The potential terror attack was set to take place in Michigan ahead of Halloween weekend and allegedly had a connection to ISIS, the FBI said. The FBI arrested multiple suspects accused of plotting the terror attack.
“The arrests that happened in Detroit, Newark, and Seattle represent one of the most deadly plots faced by the FBI in recent memory,” the agent told Fox News Digital. “Those eight arrests, and ones that have happened around the world are some of the most impactful arrests that have happened in the counterterrorism program in recent years.”
Authorities have stated one minor was among those arrested in the terror plot. So far, two men have been charged in federal court and accused of plotting to commit and support terrorism and providing material support to ISIS, identified as Mohamed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, both from Dearborn, Michigan.
