From The Epoch Times:

The DOJ announced in a statement that Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, of Melvindale, a community near Dearborn, has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device.

…

According to the criminal complaint, Said allegedly informed two undercover law enforcement officers of the plan he had concocted to conduct a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility at the Detroit Arsenal.

Last month, the two undercover officers indicated to Said that they intended to carry out his plan at the direction of ISIS.

Officials said that he then provided “armor-piercing ammunition and magazines for the attack, flying his drone over TACOM to conduct operational reconnaissance, training the undercover employees on firearms and the construction of Molotov cocktails for use during the attack, and planning numerous details of the attack including how to enter TACOM and which building to target.”

Said was reportedly arrest on May 13 when he launched his drone near TACOM, attempting to carry out his plan.

According to the Times, Sue J. Bai, head of the DOJ’s National Security Division, said she and the rest of the DOJ “will not hesitate to bring the full force of the Department to find and prosecute those who seek to harm our men and women in the military and to protect all Americans.”

Said reportedly faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count if convicted, according to the Times.

Under President Trump, local and federal law enforcement is working hard to keep us safe. Let’s pray for the safety of every officer, and that terrorism would have no place in America!
