两名男子因涉嫌针对底特律地区LGBTQ+酒吧的ISIS启发恐怖阴谋被起诉

摘要

两名密歇根男子因涉嫌策划针对底特律地区LGBTQ+酒吧的ISIS启发袭击,被控恐怖主义相关罪行。

联邦当局指控两名密歇根男子Mohmed Ali和Majed Mahmoud涉嫌策划针对底特律地区LGBTQ+酒吧的ISIS启发袭击,涉及恐怖主义相关罪行。根据联邦法院解封的一份72页刑事起诉书,这两名20岁的男子已获取高性能武器,在射击场练习射击,并对底特律郊区费恩代尔的潜在目标进行了侦察。

起诉书显示,Ali、Mahmoud及其共谋者受到伊斯兰国极端主义的启发。一名仅以“人员1”身份识别的未成年人也深度参与了相关讨论。联邦调查局(FBI)对嫌疑人进行了数周的监视,采用了杆装摄像头以及对加密聊天和社交媒体的访问等手段。据报道,嫌疑人在对话中提及“南瓜”,这是他们计划在万圣节发动袭击的代号。

FBI局长卡什·帕特尔在迪尔伯恩和因克斯特的突袭行动后宣布了逮捕。搜查中发现了战术背心、背包、AR-15式步枪、弹药、装填手枪和GoPro摄像机。嫌疑人于周一出庭,将继续被拘留,等待11月10日的拘留听证会。

辩护律师阿米尔·马克莱德在周末驳斥了指控,称这些指控是“歇斯底里”和“恐慌制造”的结果。

费恩代尔以其LGBTQ+骄傲庆典闻名,每年吸引数万人参加骄傲游行。前市长戴夫·库尔特(公开同性恋者)对该阴谋表示关切,并回忆起九年前佛罗里达奥兰多Pulse夜店悲剧带来的痛苦。

这是2025年底特律地区第二起被挫败的伊斯兰国启发恐怖阴谋。今年五月,FBI逮捕了一名花费数月时间策划袭击沃伦一处美国陆军基地的男子。该嫌疑人已表示不认罪,仍被拘留中。
