FBI FOILS GRUESOME ISIS PLOT TO KILL U.S. TROOPS — THREE RADICALS NABBED IN KANSAS AND CALIFORNIA BEFORE THEY COULD STRIKE
Federal agents moved in early Thursday morning and arrested three men accused of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS while plotting drone attacks, rocket strikes, stabbings, and beheadings against American service members.
The suspects are Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas; Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, of Porterville, California; and Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, California. They were charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Kansas after a months-long investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
According to the complaint, the three men used Discord and other messaging apps to pledge allegiance to ISIS and its leader, raise money for the group, and discuss specific ways to murder U.S. troops overseas. They sent more than $2,000 to someone they believed was an ISIS member and talked about using drones and rocket-propelled grenades in attacks. One projectile even had Ghafoor’s name written on it for use against American forces.
The group’s targets included U.S. Special Forces and female soldiers. Ghafoor reportedly said he has “always wanted to kill a female soldier by beheading” and added, “I wish I could kill 300,000,000 Americans.” Shamsaldeen talked about stabbing and injuring servicemembers, while the men discussed making drone strikes “sick” by putting their names on the weapons.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the arrests show this administration’s commitment to dismantling terrorist networks anywhere. “Thanks to the vigilance of the FBI, their alleged scheme was dismantled and further acts of violence against U.S. service members were prevented.”
FBI Director Kash Patel was direct: “These subjects allegedly swore allegiance to ISIS, plotted multiple attacks, and even targeted U.S. service members — but this FBI stopped them cold.” He thanked the teams in Kansas City, San Diego, Sacramento, Newark, and Richmond, along with the Counterterrorism Division, for their work on the case.
The investigation spanned field offices across multiple states and prevented what prosecutors described as plans to betray the country in the gravest way by funding and supporting attacks on American troops.
