The FBI just stopped what could have been a devastating mass shooting at a military base in Michigan, and the warning from the bureau is crystal clear — anyone plotting with terrorists against the US will face the full weight of the law.
Kash Patel, FBI Director, didn’t hold back when speaking to Fox News Digital after the shocking arrest of a 19-year-old former National Guard member. “Let this be a warning: Anyone who targets our military or conspires with foreign terrorist organizations will be found, stopped, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” he said. “I commend the men and women of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and our law enforcement partners for their continued dedication to protecting the American people.”

The suspect, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, is accused of plotting an attack near the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan. According to authorities, he wasn’t just talking — he was actively preparing for violence. FBI officials say he flew a drone over the base to gather intel, supplied armor-piercing ammo and magazines, and even trained undercover FBI agents on firearms and how to make Molotov cocktails.
At one point, Said reportedly told one of the undercover agents, “Everyone has about seven magazines because you don’t want to be in there and run out of ammo.” That chilling statement was part of the buildup to the attack plan, which the Justice Department says he thought was being carried out by fellow ISIS followers.
Said is now facing federal charges, including attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to explosives. If convicted, he could be looking at up to 20 years for each count.
The criminal complaint lays out how this all unfolded. Back in April, two undercover officers pretended they were going to help attack ISIS orders. Said jumped in, giving them gear and strategy. He showed them how to enter the base, which building to hit, and provided training in weapons and explosives. The complaint also mentions that Said joined the Michigan Army National Guard in September 2022, went through basic training at Fort Moore in Georgia, and was later discharged in December 2024.

His military background makes this case even more alarming, as he used what he learned in the service to help plan what could have been a catastrophic act of domestic terrorism.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is leading the investigation, and the bureau says the plot was stopped just in time.
“Our agents, intelligence teams, and partners acted quickly — and they saved lives,” Patel said in a post on X. “Well done to all on executing the mission.”
This case is a stark reminder that threats can come from anywhere, and the people sworn to protect the country are staying one step ahead — but just barely.
