FBI Thwarts Potential Terror Attack Targeting LGBTQ+ Bars in Michigan

Two men have been charged in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to carry out a terror attack on LGBTQ+ bars in the Detroit area during Halloween weekend. The suspects, identified as Mohamed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, were arrested following FBI raids in Dearborn and Inkster, where they were found practicing at a gun range and discussing plans to replicate tactics from the Paris terror attacks. Government officials and local leaders expressed skepticism about the situation, with some labeling the plot as exaggerated. However, the FBI maintained that the threat was real, leading to multiple arrests and the seizure of weapons, including AR-15s. Authorities are continuing their investigation as concerns about terrorism in the region grow.
