Two New Jersey teens arrested in connection with alleged Isis-inspired terror plot in Michigan, report says

Two New Jersey teenagers have been arrested in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired attack that the FBI said it prevented in Michigan on Halloween last week, according to a report.

Tomas Kaan Guzel and Milo Sedarat, both 19, were arrested following the foiled plot. Guzel was stopped by NYPD officers and FBI agents just before he attempted to board a flight to Istanbul, ABC News reported. Meanwhile, Sedarat was arrested at his father’s home in Montclair, sources told The New York Post.

Two other men, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, were arrested on Friday for their alleged roles in the plot, according to the report.

The group is accused of using “online encrypted communications and social media applications to share extremist and ISIS-related materials,” and reportedly used the phrase “pumpkin day” when talking about their planned Halloween attack, according to court documents.

An undercover NYPD officer had been monitoring Guzel as he communicated with those arrested in Michigan and others overseas. The group was allegedly discussing an attack on the LGBTQ+ community in Detroit and was mulling traveling to Syria to train with ISIS, the sources told ABC.

Guzel reportedly pushed forward his flight to Turkey and onward to Syria after last week’s arrests, but got caught, according to the report.
