Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the agency thwarted what appeared to be a planned terrorist attack in Michigan ahead of the Halloween weekend. In a statement posted on X, Patel said the operation unfolded earlier in the day, leading to the arrest of multiple individuals linked to the suspected plot.
“Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland,” Patel wrote, crediting federal agents and local authorities for preventing what could have been a serious public safety threat.
Details on the nature of the plot, the suspects involved, or potential targets were not immediately released as the investigation remains ongoing. הרשויות are expected to provide further information once operational security concerns are resolved.
This is a developing story and updates are expected.
