The DOJ announced today that Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, of Richfield, Minnesota was arrested prior to carrying out an attack on the Mall of America. The suspect Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud planned to enter the Mall of America with a recently purchased AK-47 and massacre as many as possible. Sheikhdoon was born in the U.S. to Somali parents.
DOJ PRESS RELEASE – Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, of Richfield, Minnesota, was charged today by complaint with one count of knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition in order to commit a federal crime of terrorism.
The FBI arrested the defendant on Oct. 6, and he made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright on Oct. 7.
“This individual allegedly obtained a weapon he hoped to use in a mass casualty attack in support of ISIS, but this FBI arrested him and put a stop to his plans,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Once again this FBI is moving more effectively than we ever have before at stopping terrorists before they can attack Americans – with over 1,100 individuals prevented from conducting attacks, over 4,000 foreign terrorist organization related disruptions and arrests, a 38% increase, and more. We will continue to use every resource we have to detect and prevent acts of terrorism and wipe out their networks all over the country. Thank you to FBI Minneapolis who did an outstanding job in the investigation and likely saved lives.”
“Mohamud allegedly sought to carry out a mass-casualty shooting at the Mall of America, expressing a desire to emulate some of the most horrific ISIS-inspired attacks in the United States, including the atrocities at Pulse Nightclub and 2025 New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “The National Security Division will continue to work closely with the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force to track down and prosecute ISIS-inspired terrorists in the United States.”
“As alleged in the criminal complaint, Mohamud took substantial steps to plot to murder innocent people in the name of ISIS,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen for the District of Minnesota. “Such threats are taken seriously, and I commend the committed public servants of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the FBI, and my office, who work every day to stop them.”
According to the complaint, beginning in or about December 2024, Mohamud exchanged hundreds of messages through multiple social media and messaging applications with a confidential source. Mohamud expressed his desire to travel to Somalia to join a designated foreign terrorist organization to fight on its behalf. Mohamud also expressed a desire to commit a mass-casualty event in Minnesota by acquiring and using a firearm and ammunition. The defendant stated many times that if he was unable to travel overseas because of a lack of funds, he planned to carry out a mass-casualty event in Minnesota in support of ISIS. (read more)
Literally before I knew anything about the story but the headline, I said to myself, “Yeah, I bet his name is Mohammad al Jihadi.”
Islam and communism are literally – and openly – revolutionary ideologies for the explicit purpose of installing dictatorship. This is why they ally with each other: they actually ARE allies and they both know it.
I think a rational fact-based case can be made that those who demonstrably practice a violent dictatorial revolutionary ideology can and must be banished from all free countries.
Yes, there are good muslims who don’t obey their religion. F THEM. It’s not our job to sort them out. It’s their job to admit that their ideology is hideously evil and to abandon it.
A recent analogy I heard, and would credit by name if I could remember it, is that if you know a bag of food items contains a few poison ones, you DON’T keep eating from the bag and feeding it to your neighbors hoping for the best. You throw the whole fn bag away.
And btw: the article says al Jihadi praised the murder of innocent LGBT in Orlando by another fn jihadi. I didn’t see any comments about THAT on this page. Those LGBT were your fellow Americans, and not all of us LGBT are nihilistic communists welcoming barbarians into the gates. Think about that.
“ Islam and communism are literally – and openly – revolutionary ideologies for the explicit purpose of installing dictatorship. This is why they ally with each other: they actually ARE allies and they both know it.”
They are allies until those who can resist are subdued. Then they’ll kill each other in quest for supremacy.
Hmmm, wouldn’t it be better if they killed each other before they destroy our country? I like that idea much better!
Won’t happen. They’re both being used by the globalists in their effort to take us, and freedom in general, down. Fortunately, they’re both weaker than they look and only thrive when the Christianity that they both originated to oppose is weak and inactive.
Right. Islam requires conversion or slavery, tax or death. Commies worship the State above all. Something has to give. Both are incompatible to each other and more importantly to us.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend….till they are not
Crabs in a bucket.
Islam was sequestered by those controlling the USSR back in the latter 1950’s, with focus on the Middle East. The institute used to propagandize was the Patrice Lamumba University in Moscow. The American CIA established a “counter”unit in Hawaii.
The two American political regimes making use to import communized Muslims into the United States was that of George HW Bush and William Jefferson Clinton; they were the ones that laid down the base for future (presently) terrorist activity to destroy our Republic.
Its actually a political movement
Not all, just 99%.
well said-no fluff.

Dont know how long you’ve been following here, but the article was a quote from the DOJ, the commentary has been on the Mall of America
event not the Pulse. Thats why, don’t read anything extra into it.
Sorry…..but from what I see out there…..LGBT…..specifically the T……are having extreme mental health issues……..and THAT is translating to shootings as well.
Not saying every single member of your community is this way………..but that appears to be the trend.
And the……other letters in your community…….a lot of them have gone bonkers too!
Credit to you if you’re sane!
Does the analogy cited apply equally to the “LGBT community”?
*One* of these names – “Vara – La – Fey” – is my maiden sir-name. Unusual name for sure (just had to post this) :):)
maiden sur-name…
Import the third world…
If I had a son…..
Yes! Spoken by the one so adored by the left. He’s the one who dumped half the Somali pirates into our country. That e-mail that stated, “ Go to Minnesota, you can make lots of money there.” Hence, the Learing Center!
he was lured by the fbi most likely. there is no mastermind bullshit making these people do this outside of the fbi. of course they have their own beliefs, but they are as weak as us in getting stuff done.
he probably got an fbi job washing cars that paid 500 dollars for one wash.
this somali kid had no chance in life period, not in this environment
they should be brought in and taught how they were lured, and what beliefs made them susceptible to this. versus entrapped and jailed forever.
probably should have never been brought here to be used
What are they doing here? What do they contribute vs what they take? Honestly
The illegal invading aliens take de money and take your life.
They contribute nothing but they take whatever they can.
Termites! Parasites!
Diversity
Its our strength, you know
Yeah, the fraudsters Walz and Ellison and Omar know all about that
Muslims and Democrats believe their own lies, and both worship Satan. Both are cults of hate and intolerance.
their numbers create a house seat to win the house. period
they are strategically sent to locations to create house seats
All Muslims OUT NOW.
The libtards imported them by the millions.
May I also add deport the handlers and enablers, whoever they may be. This could include, and probably does, members of CONgress. The handlers should have to accompany the illegal criminal invader back to their home country and stay for awhile.
Lovely people. May they all.live long enough to see Somalia again, soon.
This is not just due to his home life. American youth learn nothing about our founding principles. In school they are bombarded with social grievances and sex “education” since Kindergarten! Not just Somalians are shooting up our malls and schools. Take God and Judeo-Christian principles out of schools and homes then the whole system collapses. These principles are what ENABLE self-government and individual freedom.
E X A C T L Y 👍👍👍💯🎯👍👍👍
Hmmmm and how did this low life group get a foot hold in the USA? OBAMA brought these people from a dessert climate to the coldest part of our country so they could infest it with their hatred towards us while they were supported by OUR TAX DOLLARS from welfare checks and stole from us at every opportunity while they could find. OBAMA set this ugly seed … and it follows his declaration to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE USA! OBAMA DESERVES ALL NEGATIVE CREDIT FOR THIS ABOMINABLE SITUATION !
Nope. It was Madeleine Albright.
Nope. Started with LBJ. SPIT!
There are NO GOOD MUSLIMES
Only good ones are dead ones or apostates
Start deporting the parents
At 18, he is not masterminding this.
I’d like to know who was feeding him this stuff that radicalized him.
Wonder if the FBI was manipulating him for an arrest, as they have done before.
“This individual allegedly obtained a weapon he hoped to use in a mass casualty attack in support of ISIS,…”
I’m calling BS.
Excellent point.
Who can we trust, if the government is involved?
Consider that it may not be the US government involved, but a government of another country that wants the US to fail.
Government imports millions of Islamists. Then has to spy on us to help find the killers among them.
Get rid of all the Islamists and all of the spying without a SEARCH WARRANT. Make government smaller.
“Nothing is more common than for a free people, in times of heat and violence, to gratify momentary passions, by letting into the government, principles and precedents which afterwards prove fatal to themselves.”
– Alexander Hamilton (Letters from Phocion – 1784)
Thanks for that very important ‘reminder’ statement from Hamilton.
“Hundreds of messages with a confidential source” sounds like the FBI setting someone up to me.
Agreed. Old W Bush FBI tactics showing how effective they are.
Almost always disaffected teenagers that the FBI incites and entraps.
what gives this away – IS THIS IS THE FIRST report that the fake news is not hiding and is openly publishing everywhere
news says he was born in the united states
Exactly – typical Fed Media show to get attention and pad numbers. Find a “Shill “, provide him with every opportunity and rope length needed, including a ” weapon purchased ” ( from FBI source ).
Funny that FBI can’t seem to locate and arrest substantial terrorist cells, organizers, and financial sources,what?
All signs indicate that the US government is steered by elements within a certain opaque US government agency colluding with counterparts in other nations, all working together to sink the US.
Why? Because the US has already been inexorably sinking of it’s own accord since the 1980’s, as China has been ascending, and these steering elements believe it is better to steer the decline than to just allow it to sink without a hand on the rudder.
Other media coverage on the subject is reporting that he obtained the weapon in an FBI sting operation.
On it’s face looks like looks like another instance of Kash’s FBI grooming then arresting a dangerous autistic patsy terrorist.
Exactly. Kabuki theater to keep normies believing in Superman instead of being self-sustaining and handling things on the street.
I read the FBI supplied him the firearm and ammunitions then arrested him. They were in “constant contact” with him via the internet since 2024. This is the FBI’s SOP.
the fbi could find any retard and lure them into doing anything., its not hard
I miss the way I viewed the world before I knew too much about it.
Toby Keith:
“Wish I Didn’t Know Now”

Ain’t that the truth.
It’s nice to see the FBI now being proactive in regards to Islamic terrorism, and not just sending in a team in hazmat suits to clean up the carnage afterwards! Yeah, I’m pointing at you, Christopher Wray…
FBI-“Our image and reputation as well as trust by the people is at an all time low and in the toilet.”
FBI- “We need to rehabilitate our image somehow.”
FBI-“How?”
FBI-“We’ll stage a sting operation on a patsy and pretend to catch a terrorist” “That will get everyone’s attention since we usually let them do as they please.”
This is most likely the truth.
It promotes comfort and belief that “someone” is “doing something.”
Which in turn promotes ongoing complacency for the enslaved.
As long as “someone is doing something” then I “feel safe.”
Our FBI has been politicized and the rank and file is full of woketard BLM Antifa loving liberals. These PR stunt shows are a failed effort to restore the image of the agency at least until the next globalist administration comes along that will use them once again to go after American patriots and registered republicans. The DOJ sadly is much much worse.
FBI agents sold him a gun and ammo to carryout mass shooting at MOA.
Yes Muhammad took steps to carryout the shooting. FBI sold him a gun and probably placed the thoughts in his head.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/fbi-says-it-stopped-a-mall-of-america-terror-attack-by-a-teen-after-agents-sold-him-an-assault-rifle&ved=2ahUKEwiQ78rvh6qXAxWVmysGHWRlHVMQ1fkOegoIAggACAAIFRAE&opi=89978449&cd&psig=AOvVaw2qZGZ8Zt52ucIqA49LlW2D&ust=1791536552089000
My first question is how does this kid ‘recently purchase’ a gun? However, in the bigger picture, what we are now seeing in the EU is often not the immediate immigrants, but the first ans second generation children of those immigrants that are violent.
The feds sold him the gun. At 18, though, he could legally purchase one.
It’s nice that they stopped an attack before it happened for a change, but hundreds of messages with a confidential source kind of sounds like a set up.
after the first message, the fbi should have said were were setting you up to see if you would, you have been warned and are monitored. do not ever commit terrorism or you will go to jail for life.
The best, most effective and above all least expensive way to to get rid of imported problems, (like jihadi’s, moslim extremists/terrorist and communists) is to export them as soon as possible.
Export them in a luxurious airliner to where they come from or any other destination outside the USA snd never let them return again.
(don’t use the term deportation, deportation is what the Nazi’s did with the Jews, driving them in cattlewagons, destination destructioncamps like Auschwitz)
Make sure that all familymembers including the 2nd degree travel with them. We are a civilised nation, and we don’t want ripp precious familyties apart, now do we?
Warming! If we don’t do that, we’ll end up with the current situation in France. Communists and islamists joining hands roitt8ng and burning the country down to the ground and taking over the streets and cities.
Send him to hell.
This is why it’s so important to carefully vet your immigration candidates. We don’t need anymore Africans or Semites of any kind, Muslim or Jew. People from that part of the world are simply too tribal, too warlike. Let them stay in their part of the world where they can butcher each other and inbreed until they extinguish themselves. We should not be hosting these genetic dead ends.
Let’s import a few million more of em and have a gay ol time
SOB’s
This is typical FBI small ball stuff. They found a young man who was predisposed to be crazy, groomed him for 21 months, and arrested him for attempting to obtain a weapon and ammunition.
One young man.
21 months.
How many agents and confidential informants worked this case for 21 months to get a single arrest?
How many Iranian sleeper cells went undetected over those 21 months because all those resources were focused on one person who, until he attempted to get the rifle, was just talking tough?
Doubtful it was 21 months. That is just another lie to make you believe the FBI is a trustworthy institution. To make you believe you can trust them to look out for you and yours. To create and maintain complacency in you to keep you from acting on your own or with like-minded people. I’d wager the operation was more like 21 days. Because this play has been in the book for decades.
It’s like the local police focused on just writing minor speeding tickets instead of chasing down and arresting drug dealers and other violent criminals. They would rather spend time going after the low hanging fruit.
Multiculturalism sponsored by our uniparty is part of the divide and conquer strategy used to bring forth communism. It is also strongly supported by academia and the corporate media complex. Ask yourself why higher IQ citizens continually vote for politicians that support our self destructive agenda and two words come to my mind, indoctrination and psyop. Our constitutional republic has morphed into a banana republic.
So the FBI saves the day! Sounds like they groomed this sub 70IQ retard since he was 16. I feel so much safer. Have you seen the Mall of America lately? He would have been killing his own people, ain’t no White peeps going to no damn mall these days.
Wow. And that’s not a drop in the bucket when you consider the number actually taking over Minne- no- place! Why do they get to stay? We now know they’re not contributing to the tax base from which they scam us daily.
Glad the FIB is concentrating on actual terrorist instead of right wing boogymen they created. Under Biden we would have been remarking again after the fact that the perp was known to FIB.
scum lower life refuge somalia i’m so sick of these people,
totally disgusting cheating our systems,
that is not enough now trying to blowup country?
muslim terror i hope that thugs get life in prison,
The FBI set this 64 IQ Somalian up. Read the backstory.
the michigan state people should realize that no good for voting muslim radical socialism ,he is nothing but radical socialism ,
It’s becoming clear that the proper response to Islam is literally death to Islam.
Yes, there may, probably are some Muslims who can & would peacefully coexist – we can’t sort them out.
To paraphrase the Marines – kill them all, let God sort them out.
I am of course referring to military aged males and others who are armed. We do not make warre on civilians, innocent or not so innocent.
Next step, Denaturalize the parents for raising this feral kid, add to that, their spurning of the original visit from the FBI to look out for Junior, and DEPORT EVERY FAMILY MEMBER!
These people are a cancer!
One potential solution to the Mpls mess is to rename the MOA to Mall of Trump. It will be destroyed in a couple of days !
This suspicious cat is… Well… Suspicious.
Lock him up but remember this, the FBI ran this op and walked him right up to the front page.
Just an observation since I escaped that hellhole 8 years ago…….as soon as the muzz start affecting the gazillionaire class then there is a huge outcry. You cant believe all the BS DEI, woke, BLM signage in these WEALTHY enclaves….looking at you Minnetonka, Edina, and Eden Prairie.
Why now……?
Another scumbag that was brought to this country by democrats these Muslims hate everything they should not be aloud in this country they are a security threat.
13%…….
Don’t laugh……
It’s come to/for America……
mohamid quotient = 100%
If foreign parents cannot discipline their children the whole family should be deported to their country of origin.
The US has enough criminals among its own people it does not need to import more.
Another ” Lone Wolf ” activist, came to attention of FBI and was then used as a shill. They gave him access to weapons and provided source material to ” further his radical Islamic terrorism ” activities. That is the Feds way of doing business, seeking media attention and padding their numbers. This was a 1-2 agent investigative and arrest action at best. Prove Me Wrong!
Where are the populated terrorist cells and organizing entities that the Feds should be spending their time and resources on?
These kind of “Big Deal” hyped media events are pathetic acts seeking attention not deserved. Personal opinion of retired LEO!
The press conference made mention that there are investigators, investigating…
p.s. that is good – when it is evil (or terrorist org ) being investigated (without suspects knowing…until…facts accumulate… )
An ounce of prevention,
is worth a pound of cure. – Ben Franklin
p.s.
to feed those wanting live in fear, or be controlled by others …
there are warnings of a hurricane, plague, fuel prices, flood, drought… etc.
( and silence on real corruption$, tyranny efforts … hmm… )
Love thy neighbors…
I don’t understand why the FBI would arrest him prior to the attack… What’s in it for them?
There is no way he acted alone. I’m so tired of when they catch these guys they claim that they were some kind of lone wolf. He had all kinds of logistic and monetary help, but for some reason, law-enforcement never digs into it.
