Two men have been charged with a terrorist plot to carry out a mass shooting over Halloween weekend in the US state of Michigan.
The suspects, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, scouted potential locations in a suburb of Detroit and expressed support for the Islamic State group online, federal prosecutors say.
A third defendant, described as a juvenile in court documents, is unnamed. The alleged conspirators bought semi-automatic guns, more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition and trained how to shoot at a gun range, prosecutors say.
The defendants are due in court in Detroit on Monday. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said it was "a major ISIS-linked terror plot".
"According to the complaint, subjects had multiple AR-15 rifles, tactical gear, and a detailed plan to carry out an attack on American soil," she added.
