The FBI arrested multiple suspects who were allegedly plotting a foiled “potential terrorist attack” in Michigan over the Halloween weekend, Director Kash Patel said Friday.

“This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend,” Patel wrote in a statement on X.

Four senior law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the FBI in Detroit apprehended a group of young individuals into custody today who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween.

Those officials say the group has a nexus to some form of foreign extremism, but did not say if it was ISIS, Al Qaeda, or some other similar ideology. Officials stressed there is no current threat to the public,

One official says some of the arrests occurred in Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan.
