The FBI and Department of Justice announced Wednesday that they arrested and charged 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud for allegedly plotting a terror attack in which he hoped to murder “maybe 30-60 people insha Allah.” The investigation, which the FBI conducted over the course of nearly two years, led to Mohamud’s arrest Tuesday in Richfield, Minnesota.

An FBI affidavit submitted in support of the complaint asserts Mohamud’s growing obsession with Islamic terror organizations and his desire to relocate to Somalia, “the ‘homeland’ of his parents,” and fight for al-Shabaab, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO).

Mohamud later determined to join the Islamic State (ISIS), but ultimately decided to carry out a terror attack on U.S. soil since he lacked the funds to travel to Somalia. An FBI confidential human source maintained contact with Mohamud throughout the investigation via a plethora of messaging apps, including encrypted services like Telegram and Signal.

In these messages, say court documents, Mohamud allegedly described himself as “100% sure” and “100% commited [sic]” to carrying out the attack and “dying for the sake of Allah only.” He also allegedly cited a number of other terror attacks as inspiration for his plot.

On Tuesday, Mohamud allegedly purchased an AK-47 rifle, four 30-round magazines, and 200 rounds of ammunition with the intent “to commit a felony and a Federal crime of terrorism.” The “seller” of the firearm, however, was an FBI undercover employee (UCE) who claimed to be an ISIS member.

At the meeting, Mohamud told the undercover officer “that he explored different FTOs, including al-Shabaab, al Qaeda, and ISIS, before determining that he was supporting ISIS,” according to the affidavit. He “then told the UCE that he planned to conduct a shooting at a kuffar festival at the Mall of America” because the facility “was owned by jewish [sic].” He also allegedly stated he was angry at the bad treatment of Muslims in the wake of the ‘San Diego attack’ as one of his motivating reasons for wanting to attack the kuffar.”

After the purchase, the FBI immediately took Mohamud into custody.
