Dearborn attorney challenges FBI’s claims of thwarted alleged terror plot, citing lack of evidence

An attorney representing one of the suspects arrested Friday in connection to an alleged potential terrorist attack is challenging FBI Director Kash Patel’s claims that federal agents thwarted a possible terror plot. Dearborn attorney Amir Makled said his client, a 20-year-old from Dearborn, is still in federal custody despite still having no charges filed against him as of Sunday evening. Although federal authorities say the arrests are connected to a potential plan to carry out an attack over Halloween weekend, Mackled said he’s found no evidence that any steps to carry out an attack were ever taken.
