In a dramatic turn of events on Halloween morning, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) successfully thwarted a potential terrorist attack in Michigan, arresting multiple suspects allegedly plotting violence over the festive weekend.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the operation on Friday, praising the coordinated efforts of federal and local law enforcement.
“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 stated.
“Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
The FBI’s Detroit field office reported law enforcement activity in Dearborn and Inkster, though details of the suspects and the nature of the plot remain undisclosed. Local police departments have assured residents that there is no current threat to public safety.
As investigations continue, authorities are expected to release further information in the coming days.
