00:00I'm pleased to announce that as a result of their tremendous vigilance and professionalism,
00:07the FBI yesterday arrested and today we have charged an individual who was planning a mass
00:13casualty attack in support of ISIS at the Mall of America later this month.
00:20A complaint was filed this morning here in federal district court.
00:24The complaint charges Sheikh Doon Abdullahi Mohammed with acquiring an AK-47 assault rifle
00:31and 200 rounds of ammunition in order to commit a federal crime of terrorism, including attempting
00:38to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
00:44The American people and the citizens of Minnesota should know from yesterday's arrest, which
00:49was the culmination of an outstanding law enforcement and intelligence operation.
00:54The federal law enforcement is standing up to their calling to protect us.
01:00Here because of their vigilance and diligence, they were able to detect a threat and disrupt
01:06it before the defendant carried out his intention to kill, in his words, maybe 30 to 60 people,
01:13as we allege in far greater detail in the complaint.
01:18Today's charges demonstrate that the threat of terrorism in support of ISIS and other foreign
01:23terrorist organizations is active and continuing.
