Michigan, USA – In a shocking twist, authorities announced the arrest of Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, a 32-year-old former member of the Michigan Army National Guard, on suspicion of planning a mass-shooting at a U.S. military base in Warren, Michigan. According to officials, the alleged plot was motivated by Said’s affinity for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, a designated terrorist organization.
On May 14, 2025, Said was taken into custody by the FBI and the U.S. Army’s counterterrorism unit after an extensive investigation revealed his involvement in a plot to carry out a violent attack on a military base. Sources close to the matter confirmed that Said, a former Specialist in the Michigan Army National Guard from 2013 to 2018, had been monitored by authorities for some time prior to his arrest.
Details of the alleged plan remain scarce, but officials stated that Said had obtained extensive information about the target military base, including blueprints and security protocols. He allegedly planned to use this knowledge to carry out a coordinated attack on personnel and facilities. The FBI has confirmed that it received a tip from an unnamed source regarding Said’s activities, which prompted the launch of an investigation.
“We take these allegations extremely seriously and are working diligently to understand the scope and nature of the threat,” stated a spokesperson for the FBI’s Detroit division. “The safety and security of our personnel and the public is our top priority, and we are committed to protecting our nation from all forms of terrorism.”
Said’s alleged affiliations with the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) have led authorities to speculate that the individual was radicalized in the wake of his military service. The U.S. Army has launched an internal review to determine whether any actions on their part may have been insufficient to prevent Said’s alleged radicalization.
As the investigation continues, the U.S. Department of Justice has announced its intention to charge Said with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
This alarming incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by domestic terrorism and the importance of vigilance in identifying and mitigating potential threats to national security. The U.S. military and law enforcement agencies are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
In a statement, a U.S. Army spokesperson emphasized that the military is “fully cooperating with the investigation and is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all its personnel and facilities.”
