FBI Thwarts ISIS-Linked Plot to Attack Mall of America During Hmong Arts Celebration

An 18-year-old U.S. citizen was arrested in Minnesota after federal prosecutors alleged he planned a mass-casualty attack at the Mall of America in support of ISIS. The suspect, Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, was charged with receiving a firearm and ammunition for use in a federal crime of terrorism. Authorities say he identified the October 24 Hmong Arts Celebration as a target date, intending to kill 30 to 60 people.
