(Adnkronos) – “This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested several people in Michigan suspected of preparing a violent attack during the Halloween weekend.” This was announced on X by FBI Director Kash Patel. Federal security agency sources revealed to Nbcnews that the arrests took place in Dearborn and Inkster, towns on the outskirts of Detroit.
Dearborn police confirmed on Facebook that they had been informed of the FBI’s operations in the town, without providing further information but assuring that “there are currently no threats to the population.”
In his post, Patel then thanked “the men and women of the FBI and all security forces for standing guard 24/7 carrying out the mission of defending our homeland.”
