Federal prosecutors have charged a 19-year-old man from the Seattle area with being part of a failed terrorism plot over Halloween weekend in Metro Detroit — the eighth person ensnared in the alleged scheme.

Saed Ali Mirreh, a U.S. citizen from Kent, Washington, was arrested by federal agents Wednesday in his home state following a two-year investigation that started with a tip and intensified after FBI agents conducted a series of raids one week ago on Halloween in Dearborn and Inkster and arrested five people in Michigan.

Mirreh was in contact with several of those people in Dearborn, and their arrests accelerated his plan to fly from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Turkey to join ISIS as fighters, according to the government.

Mirreh's arrest marks an expansion of a case spanning the continental United States ― from Washington to New Jersey ― and involved a terror plot that FBI agents say targeted LGBTQ+ friendly clubs in Ferndale and what appears to be the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio...

This article has a lot that I haven’t seen before. I couldn’t bear to copy and paste much of it.

Does anyone have a link to the Complaint unsealed Thursday?


“It’s so shocking to see how such a radical ideology can be living in your backyard,” Rabbi Yaacov Leaf of Chabad of Montclair told The Post.

“It’s frightening to realize this type of hate has seeped into our suburban liberal community … It’s a diverse community where we are open to every type of human being and every type of belief system. To see that hate has found its way into the community is very frightening.”
(…)
Sources told The Post that the scheming, gearing up and group chats were part of a “very real plot.” More arrests are likely to be announced soon in the United Kingdom, sources said.

This it?

Thank you, I think that was the one released Monday with defendants Ali & Mahmoud.

According to the article I quoted above, there was one released yesterday. I believe it involves defendants Milo Sedarat & Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel. The NY Post was quoting from the Complaint but I didn’t see it linked.

Michigan terror suspects got advice from ISIS-supporting preacher’s dad on when to stage attack, feds say


A suspect accused of plotting the Michigan Halloween terror attack allegedly “sought guidance” on when to carry out the violence from the father of a local “extremist” Islamic preacher who has previously called on American Muslims to wage jihad.



It makes me sick that people that hate us & the usa are in this country. I wish they could be deported. Jmo

Me, too. If any of them are not U.S. citizens, but just on some kind of visa or they are only permanent residents, then they can be deported. But they should do time in federal prisons for their crimes before deportation. Otherwise they would probably try to get back into the country.

''What the defense is saying: Defense attorney Amir Makled has offered a sharply different account. His 20-year-old Dearborn client remained in custody as of Saturday, and while federal authorities provided limited information, Makled said he reviewed the matter and found no evidence of a planned attack. “I don’t know where this hysteria and this fearmongering came from,” he told the AP. The suspects, he said, are all male U.S. citizens between ages 16 and 20 who are gamers. Meanwhile, authorities said there was no ongoing threat to public safety following the arrests.''

''GLASSBORO, N.J. (WPVI) -- A Rowan University student is among five suspects arrested in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to carry out a terrorist attack over Halloween weekend in Michigan.

On Tuesday, federal authorities announced the arrests of Tomas Kaan Guzel and Milo Sedanet, both 19 and from Montclair, New Jersey.''

''According to Rowan University, Guzel is a computer science student who enrolled this fall as a freshman. He is charged with conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization.''

Officials say he was only on campus for two months.''

"The FBI had contacted us and told us they had a student that they were watching, a student of interest, and we worked with them and supported them with whatever they needed," said university spokesperson Joe Cardona''

I'm glad to see that Rowan University was fully cooperating with the FBI as the FBI surveilled the student of interest in relation to the case of a possible and imminent terrorist attack.

FBI counter-terrorism agents used a secret surveillance tool to investigate juveniles and adults from Dearborn before thwarting what the government called the group's plan for a domestic terror attack on behalf of the Islamic State, according to federal court records.

This development is emerging as three members of the group are due in federal court Monday to learn whether they will be detained while the case is pending in Detroit. Prosecutors made the announcement in a court filing that disclosed investigators obtained evidence from electronic surveillance allowed under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act while investigating at least eight people, including two juveniles from Dearborn.

The disclosure reveals how FBI agents investigated the largest terrorism case in Metro Detroit in more than 20 years. But it adds another layer of secrecy to a prosecution that includes two minor alleged co-conspirators who are being tried in private under a rarely used federal law ― a legal tactic first revealed by The Detroit News...

It's hard to imagine that any judge in their right mind would allow these domestic terrorists out on bail, including the juveniles. They need to stay locked up for the safety of our communities. Of course, for juveniles, their court cases have to take place in private. Glad to see there is a federal law that provides this privacy. They committed federal offenses, so juvenile court is not appropriate, and their court cases have to be kept private due to their age.

Feds file sealed case vs Dearborn juvenile in Halloween Terror Probe


A few juvenile criminal cases involving terrorism occasionally emerge nationwide.

In 2017, Santos Colon, Jr., 17, of Lindenwold, New Jersey, pleaded guilty as an adult in a criminal case charging him with attempting to provide material support to terrorists.
Colon, who was arrested when he was 15 and initially charged as a juvenile in a sealed federal case, admitted plotting to attack the Pope during his Papal Mass in Philadelphia and detonating explosives.
Colon was sentenced to time served and 25 years of supervised release with location monitoring for six months.
Abdullah Haji Zada, 18, an Afghan citizen and U.S. resident in Oklahoma, meanwhile, pleaded guilty to a federal gun crime in April in connection with an election day terror plot. He was 17 when he was arrested.

"In general, in ISIS cases, or terrorism cases, the age demographic is trending younger and younger," said Seamus Hughes, a senior research faculty member at the University of Nebraska Omaha’s National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center (NCITE). "So this is something the FBI and law enforcement is going to have to grapple with."
