Former National Guardsman allegedly plotted ISIS-inspired attack on Michigan military facility

A former member of Michigan’s Army National Guard was arrested for allegedly plotting to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass attack on a military facility near Detroit, according to newly unsealed court records.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, allegedly engaged in detailed attack planning to carry out a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command, or TACOM, facility in Warren, including communicating with two individuals “purporting to be fellow ISIS supporters” he was unaware were actually undercover law enforcement officers, according to a federal criminal complaint.

The alleged attack was scheduled to occur Tuesday morning, but law enforcement took Said into custody after he and one of the agents arrived at a location near the TACOM facility and launched his drone into the air “in support of the attack plan,” the Department of Justice said.
