Suspects were identified in the Dearborn terror plot.
“This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend,” Patel said last week.
Fox News later reported that the thwarted terror attack was connected to ISIS. Details were not immediately available.
On Monday, two of the suspects were identified: Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud.
According to the FBI, the suspect were reportedly planning the Halloween weekend mass shooting terror attack dubbed “pumpkin.”
The suspects reportedly practiced at a shooting range in Michigan.
Fox News reported:
Two Michigan men have been charged in a foiled ISIS-inspired terror attack that allegedly would have involved a massacre in a Detroit suburb on Halloween, according to an FBI affidavit.
Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud are accused of plotting to launch a terror-inspired mass shooting codenamed “pumpkin,” according to court documents. They’ve been charged with receiving, transferring and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.
Ali practiced shooting at a local gun range multiple times, including with Mahmoud, a juvenile suspect referred to as “Person 1” and under the alias “Athari” — and once with an unnamed “Co-conspirator 4,” according to the complaint.
The charges come after a lawyer for one of the suspects, who was arrested Friday, claimed to The Associated Press that there was no plot and that he did not expect charges to be filed.
Video posted on social media shows FBI officials arresting several individuals planning the attack.

Last week MSNBC attacked Kash Patel over his decision to arrest the Jihadi terror suspects.
Per a leak to MSNBC: “Senior Justice Department and FBI officials expressed frustration Friday that FBI Director Kash Patel publicly disclosed an investigation into what he called a “potential” Halloween weekend terrorist plot near Detroit — before investigators had a chance to flesh out key details, including whether the attack actually was imminent, two people familiar with the matter told MSNBC.”
The leakers claimed Kash Patel ‘acted hastily’ without Main Justice’s approval.
“Justice officials registered concern that Patel appeared to have acted hastily on the probe without Main Justice’s approval, with the apparent goal of seeking some credit for the FBI, but in a way that could interfere with the investigation, according to the sources. MSNBC has not named them as they fear retaliation,” MSNBC reported.
