FBI arrests Minnesota teen in alleged Mall of America ISIS plot

Federal authorities arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, a U.S. citizen of Somali descent, Tuesday in a Minnesota park, charging him with plotting an ISIS-inspired mass shooting at the Mall of America. He had been under investigation since December 2024 and allegedly bought an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition for $600 from an undercover FBI informant, telling the informant he intended to kill 30 to 60 people. He faces one federal firearms-terrorism charge. Sen. Amy Klobuchar praised law enforcement Wednesday, calling for more anti-terrorism investment.
