In a significant development, FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed the apprehension of a sixth suspect linked to a thwarted terror plot in Michigan during the Halloween weekend.

Patel disclosed that the suspect, originating from Washington state, was detained for allegedly offering material support with motives inspired by ISIS.

According to NBC News, the individual arrested is Saed Ali Mirreh, a 19-year-old from Kent, Washington. He was taken into custody by the FBI on Wednesday.

Alongside him, three Michigan residents and two individuals from New Jersey have also been detained. Among them is Ayob Nasser, 19, who was arrested on Wednesday, accused of being involved in planning a potential attack on LGBTQ+ establishments in the suburbs of Detroit.

Court documents indicate that Nasser, his brother Mohmed Ali, and Majed Mahmoud face charges of conspiring to provide material support and resources to a designated terrorist organization. They are also accused of handling firearms and ammunition for terrorist purposes.

In related news, there have been over 2,100 arrests in Memphis as part of the Safe Task Force initiative.

Court documents say Ali and an unnamed juvenile were referenced in third-party conversations on an encrypted communication app, and the “brothers” were allegedly planning to conduct a terror attack in the U.S. on behalf of ISIS. Ali is also accused of purchasing a shotgun, an AR-15-style rifle and multiple firearms accessories, including a device that allows a shooter to increase the rate of fire on a semiautomatic weapon.

Mahmoud purchased 1,600 rounds of ammunition to be used in AR-15-style rifles during the attack, according to the documents. The complaint says Ali and Mahmoud scouted locations for an attack in Ferndale, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and appeared to set the date for the attack for Halloween.

In New Jersey, authorities said Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzal, 19, and Milo Sedarat were taken into custody. Records revealed Sedarat’s father appears to be Roger Sedarat, an award-winning Iranian American poet and professor.

Officials said Jiminez-Guzal had talked about wanting to train with the Islamic State terrorist group and had planned to fly to Turkey before attempting to go to Syria.
