19-year-old Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said Charged in ISIS-Inspired Plot to Attack U.S. Military Base in Warren
A 19-year-old man from Melvindale, Michigan, is facing federal charges after allegedly plotting a terrorist attack on behalf of ISIS against a U.S. military installation in Warren.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard, has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to the manufacture or use of a destructive device.
Federal prosecutors allege that Said developed and attempted to execute a detailed plan to carry out a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility, located at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan.
The criminal complaint outlines that Said provided significant material assistance in the lead-up to the planned attack.
His alleged actions included supplying ammunition and firearms magazines, training undercover law enforcement agents in the use of weapons and the construction of Molotov cocktails, and conducting aerial reconnaissance of the TACOM facility using a drone.
He also reportedly provided a detailed layout of the building to support the planning of the assault.
During one recorded conversation with undercover officers, Said allegedly showed a training video and expressed extremist views, stating, “For us, whether they’re armed or not, it’s shoot-to-kill.”
Federal agents arrested Said on May 13—the day the attack was reportedly scheduled to take place—after he traveled near the TACOM facility and launched a drone in preparation for the assault.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison emphasized the seriousness of the charges and the threat posed by terrorist plots targeting military personnel and facilities:
“ISIS is a brutal terrorist organization which seeks to kill Americans. Helping ISIS or any other terrorist organization prepare or carry out acts of violence is not only a reprehensible crime—it is a threat to our entire nation and way of life. Our office will not tolerate such crimes or threats, and we will use the full weight of the law against anyone who engages in terrorism.”
If convicted, Said faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for each charge.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force with assistance from federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.
