Thread: FBI Thwarts Halloween Terror Attack—Arrests Made In Muslim Dearborn, Michigan

JUST IN: FBI Thwarts Potential Halloween Terror Attack—Several Arrests Made In Muslim Majority Michigan City

Early this morning, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that they have thwarted a potential terrorist attack in Michigan. In his post on “X,” Patel said that “several people” were arrested, calling it “an incredible success.”

In his X post, Patel thanked the “men and women of the FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”

According to Patel, these suspects “were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.”

Although the FBI has not named any of the suspects, Dearborn is a Muslim majority city and has recently been in the news. On September 9, during a city council meeting, the City’s Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told Dearborn resident Ted Barham he wasn’t welcome in the City after he objected to Wayne County’s decision to name a major street in Dearborn after longtime Arab-American leader Osama Siblani. Barham’s objection to the street being named after the 70-year-old Siblani was due to his ties to terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Muslim Dearborn mayor has been criticized for what appears to be his attempt to alienate non-Muslims in the community, while making obvious attempts to cater to non-English speaking Muslim immigrants. A perfect example of Mayor Hammoud catering to the city’s foreign population is his use of Arabic subtitles in his posts on X, like the one below, which shows the Dearborn mayor introducing the City’s latest all-Arabic magazine mailed to residents.

In May, the FBI thwarted another potential terror attack when they arrested a 19-year-old man after he allegedly spent months plotting an attack on a U.S. Army installation in suburban Detroit on behalf of the Islamic State group, ISIS.

According to federal investigators, Ammar Said had planned for another person to carry out a mass shooting at the Army’s Tank-automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility in Warren, Michigan.

Unbeknownst to him, the two individuals he believed were helping him were actually undercover FBI agents monitoring his actions.

Agents documented their meetings with Said through audio and video recordings, capturing his hand-drawn diagrams of TACOM and the nearby Detroit Arsenal.

Said, who had recently joined the Michigan Army National Guard, was taken into custody after allegedly launching a drone to conduct final surveillance of the site ahead of the planned attack, according to an FBI court filing.

According to Census data, Dearborn has a population of about 109,000 and became the first U.S. city with an Arab-majority population in 2023, the BBC reported.
