Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if he is convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the complaint, Said told two undercover law enforcement officers about a plan he had developed to conduct a mass shooting at the TACOM facility. In April, the undercover officers told him they intended to carry out the attack at the direction of ISIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors said Said then provided material assistance for the plan, including armor-piercing ammunition and magazines. He also flew a drone over the facility for reconnaissance, trained the undercover officers on firearms and the construction of Molotov cocktails, and discussed details such as how to enter the base and which building to target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said was arrested on May 13, the day prosecutors said the attack was scheduled to take place, after he traveled to an area near TACOM and launched his drone in support of the plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis defendant is charged with planning a deadly attack on a U.S. military base here at home for ISIS,\u201d said Sue J. Bai, head of the Justice Department\u2019s National Security Division. \u201cThanks to the tireless efforts of law enforcement, we foiled the attack before lives were lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI\u2019s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the case. Prosecutors said they will ask a judge to keep Said in custody before trial, citing his danger to the community and the risk that he could flee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former member of the Michigan Army National Guard has been arrested and charged with planning a mass shooting at a U.S. military base in Michigan on behalf of ISIS, according to the Justice Department.
