What's happening

An 18-year-old Somali-American named Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud was arrested by the FBI on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack at the Mall of America in Minnesota after a nearly two-year investigation. The suspect allegedly intended to attack and kill non-Muslims at the mall on October 24 during a Hmong cultural event, and was detained after purchasing an AK-47 and ammunition from an undercover FBI agent.
