Overview

  • Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, a former Michigan Army National Guard member, was arrested on May 13, 2025, for plotting an ISIS-inspired attack on the TACOM facility in Warren, Michigan.
  • Said is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device, with each charge carrying up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
  • Authorities say Said coordinated with undercover FBI agents over several months, providing armor-piercing ammunition, conducting drone reconnaissance, and training operatives in weapons and Molotov cocktail use.
  • The FBI and Army Counterintelligence Command disrupted the plot after Said launched a drone near TACOM to conduct final reconnaissance ahead of the planned attack.
  • Said remains in federal custody, with prosecutors seeking pretrial detention due to significant public safety and flight risks. He is scheduled for an initial court appearance today in Detroit.
