i of the 2 men supercharged in the alleged ISIS-inspired foiled plot of ground on allhallows eve in Michigan was seen at a gun range over a month before the holiday. Two men, identified as Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, were charged by federal prosecutors on Monday over allegedly hatching an ISIS-inspired plot that the FBI had said they foiled.
The attack plan was for Halloween weekend and the suspects had allegedly been planning to carry it out in Ferndale, with LGBTQ clubs and bars the potential target.
Both the accused charged in the case reportedly practiced shooting firearms at gun ranges in recent weeks, and a picture showed Mohmed Ali holding a weapon at a gun range in Belleville, Michigan, as per a picture from news agency AFP.
The picture was reportedly from September 25.
The accused visited a gun range as part of a plot to "commit a Federal crime of terrorism," a criminal complaint said, mentioning Mohmed Ali, Majed Mahmoud and other unnamed co-conspirators.
A juvenile is also among the five suspects in the case, and court documents reveal that all of them allegedly used encrypted messaging platforms to share ISIS-related messages on the potential attacks.
According to Fox News, it was the juvenile suspect who suggested the attack take place on Halloween. Several references to the term ‘pumpkin’ were found when the FBI probed chats and telephonic conversations purportedly carried out among the group.
"So ya, I talked to my brothers. We are going to do pumpkin," the juvenile suspect allegedly told Mohmed Ali. “I talked to...[Co-conspirator 4] and [Co-conspirator 5], they said it is getting bad. So we got to do pumpkin, ya,” Fox News quoted court documents.
However, the FBI thwarted the "potential terrorist attack" before it could take place, Director Kash Patel announced on Friday. Later, three AR-15-style rifles, two shotguns, four handguns, and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition were recovered after raids at Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud's homes.
