FBI挫败美国购物中心恐袭图谋：18岁青年购枪欲袭击节庆活动
联邦检方周三宣布，FBI 逮捕了明尼苏达州里奇菲尔德市 18 岁青年谢赫杜恩·阿卜杜拉希·穆罕默德，指控他图谋在全美最大的购物中心——美国购物中心（Mall of America）发动大规模枪击，为恐怖组织"伊斯兰国"效力。他已被控一项"为实施联邦恐怖主义罪行而接收枪支弹药"的罪名。 诉状称，穆罕默德自 2024 年 12 月起与 FBI 线人往来，先想出国加入索马里青年党或"伊斯兰国"，因盘缠不足转而策划本土袭击。他选定 10 月 24 日商场举办苗族艺术庆典之日下手，扬言要杀死 30 到 60 名"非穆斯林"。10 月 6 日，他从卧底探员手中以 600 美元买下一支 AK-47 步枪、4 个 30 发弹匣和约 200 发子弹，随即被捕。 明尼苏达联邦检察官罗森表示，被告"采取了实质步骤，图谋以'伊斯兰国'之名谋杀无辜者"；FBI 局长帕特尔说，探员赶在他动手之前制止了这场图谋。被告周三在圣保罗联邦法院首次出庭，被下令继续羁押，10 月 19 日举行羁押听证。（综合司法部声明与路透社报道）
FBI Foils Mall of America Attack Plot: Teen Bought Rifle for Festival Shooting
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that the FBI has arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, of Richfield, Minnesota, accusing him of plotting a mass shooting at the Mall of America — the largest mall in the United States — in support of ISIS. He is charged with knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition to commit a federal crime of terrorism. According to the complaint, Mohamud had been in contact with an FBI source since December 2024. He first wanted to travel abroad to join al-Shabaab or ISIS; when he could not afford the trip, he turned to a domestic attack. He allegedly chose Oct. 24, when the mall hosts a Hmong arts celebration, and said he wanted to kill 30 to 60 non-Muslims. On Oct. 6 he bought an AK-47, four 30-round magazines and about 200 rounds from an undercover agent for $600 and was arrested on the spot. U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said Mohamud "took substantial steps to plot to murder innocent people in the name of ISIS"; FBI Director Kash Patel said agents stopped the plan before he could act. Mohamud made his first court appearance Wednesday in St. Paul and was ordered held ahead of an Oct. 19 detention hearing. (From DOJ statements and Reuters reporting.)
