2 Michigan Men Charged in Foiled Halloween Terror Attack After Lawyer Claimed Plot ‘Never Existed’

The FBI has announced charges against a Michigan duo detained in an alleged terror plot that was apparently thwarted by the agency late last week.

The suspects, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, have been charged with receiving and transferring — and attempting and conspiring to transfer –firearms and ammunition, knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that the firearms and ammunition would be used to commit a federal crime of terrorism, NBC News reported.

A criminal complaint obtained by NBC detailed how Ali and Mahmoud, along with a juvenile who has not been identified, regularly practiced shooting at gun ranges over the last couple of months.

They had reportedly given their mass shooting terror attack a name — “Pumpkin” — that they were to carry out on Halloween weekend.

Ali and Mahmoud were due in court later Monday.

Amir Makled, a lawyer representing one of the suspects, told the Associated Press over the weekend that the feds had failed to give him any details regarding their probe. However, after reviewing the case on his own, he believed that no terror attack had been planned and he didn’t expect any charges to be filed.

On Friday, Patel posted on social media that the feds had foiled a plot planned for Halloween weekend, promising that further details were forthcoming.

FBI agents reportedly recovered numerous firearms, including AR-15-style rifles and two shotguns, in raids of the suspects’ homes.
