Federal authorities have stopped a potential terrorist attack in Michigan just before Halloween. The FBI confirmed Friday that several arrests were made in connection with a plot allegedly linked to international terror networks.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Twitter that the agency had thwarted the attack, preventing a violent event over the Halloween weekend. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino praised the swift action, calling it a prime example of proactive law enforcement aimed at saving lives.
The arrests follow a deadly attack 10 months ago in New Orleans, where a man killed 15 people by driving a truck through crowds on Bourbon Street while flying an ISIS flag. Authorities are currently reviewing evidence and conducting searches across Michigan as part of the investigation.
