The feds also nabbed another Montclair teen, Tomas Kaan Guzel, 19, sources said.<\/p>\n

The NJ men were taken into custody following a joint investigation by the NYPD\u2019s Intelligence Bureau and the FBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are accused of involvement in the plot uncovered in Detroit last week, which feds say was meant to copy\u00a0the 2015 Paris ISIS attack<\/a>, sources said.<\/p>\n

Guzel was arrested in a food court in Terminal B at Newark Liberty International Airport, where police said he was waiting for a flight to Turkey with the goal of reaching Syria and training with ISIS, sources said.<\/p>\n

Both men are set to be charged at New Jersey federal court on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The arrests come just two days after a\u00a0pair of Michigan men were charged<\/a>\u00a0with supplying weapons for the ISIS-inspired attack allegedly taking aim at LGBTQ-friendly bars in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Feds say the plot was meant to mimic the 2015 Paris ISIS attack, sources said. Eastern District of Michigan<\/p>\n

The court document names Mohmed Ali, 20, as one of the main co-conspirators aiming to unleash a mass shooting on Halloween night, prosecutors said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint ultimately refers to five unidentified co-conspirators and a minor, labeled \u201cPerson 1,\u201d the latter of whom was allegedly assigned to carry out the attack along with Ali, while the rest of the group made their way to join ISIS in Syria.<\/p>\n

But before Ali and his associates could carry out the alleged terror attack, authorities raided their homes and a storage unit rented by Ali in nearby Inkster.<\/p>\n

In all, investigators recovered three AR-15-style rifles, two shotguns, four pistols and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition \u2014 as well as GoPro cameras, tactical vests and additional gear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The son of noted Iranian American poet Roger Sedarat has been arrested in tony Montclair, New Jersey, in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3283,57,9,11,10,1086,3694,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-29902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-arrests","9":"tag-metro","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-headlines","12":"tag-new-york-news","13":"tag-newark-airport","14":"tag-terrorism","15":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
