明尼苏达州参议院候选人警告称，在挫败恐怖袭击阴谋、索马里帮派暴力激增后，该州威胁等级上升
美国明尼苏达州共和党参议员候选人米歇尔·塔福娅就该州的犯罪水平发出警告，此前索马里裔美国人实施了一系列帮派暴力活动，以及一名出生于索马里裔家庭的美国人策划恐怖袭击阴谋。

共和党参议院候选人米歇尔·塔福娅表示，在联邦调查局逮捕一名据称效忠ISIS、并讨论在美国购物中心大规模枪击事件的18岁嫌疑人后，她家乡明尼苏达州的民众“感到受到了威胁”。
塔福娅正力争拿下民主党掌控的开放参议院席位，将在中期选举中与民主党副州长佩吉·弗拉南展开角逐。她在X平台的帖子中赞扬了执法部门，写道：“感谢@FBIMinneapolis和执法部门阻止了一场潜在的大规模伤亡袭击。”
但她同时也将此事与中期选举挂钩，她辩称：“今年11月，选择很明确：要么法律与秩序，要么一如既往。要么常识，要么混乱。”
当局表示，谢赫敦·阿卜杜拉希·穆罕默德在从联邦调查局卧底探员手中购买了一支AK-47风格步枪、弹匣和弹药后当场被捕，此前他已被调查近两年。
**FBI：美国购物中心恐怖袭击阴谋已挫败
“这是一名需要被监控的激进化年轻人，”美国检察官丹尼尔·罗森周三在新闻发布会上表示。罗森补充称，探员“在被告意图杀害——用他的话说，可能30到60人”前，得以察觉威胁并将其挫败。
根据联邦调查局探员的宣誓证词显示，穆罕默德在与线人的聊天记录中多次确认，他打算在10月24日在购物中心袭击并杀害非穆斯林，当天原定举办赫蒙族艺术庆典。赫蒙族是来自东亚和东南亚的族群，在明尼苏达州有大量聚居人口。
塔福娅在接受福克斯新闻数字频道的采访时表示：“我在竞选活动中听到了很多明尼苏达州民众对犯罪的诸多担忧，无论犯罪形式如何，明尼苏达州民众都知道，他们感受到了明尼苏达州最近威胁程度上升。
“就在上周和今天，我们看到一名18岁……索马里裔美国公民因……计划在美国购物中心发动恐怖袭击而被捕，”塔福娅说道，她不仅提到了这起挫败的恐怖袭击阴谋，还提到了近期一系列帮派枪击暴力事件，当地一些执法部门称这些事件与“索马里裔美国人社区成员有关。
“他基本上表示，他要消灭任何非穆斯林。他还指出，美国购物中心由犹太人拥有，”塔福娅补充道。“再次，他拥有索马里血统，恐怖主义仍然猖獗。感谢上帝，我们避免了这场大规模危机。**
弗拉南在X平台的一份声明中写道：“我对明尼苏达州的一场可怕袭击被阻止感到欣慰，并感谢执法部门的行动。”

福克斯新闻数字频道联系了弗拉南的竞选团队，希望其就此次恐怖袭击阴谋逮捕事件和塔福娅的言论作出更多回应，但在本文发布时未收到回复。
民主党州长候选人艾米·克洛布查尔在一份声明中表示：“我感谢执法部门的英勇工作，阻止了美国购物中心的大规模枪击和恐怖袭击。这表明为什么我们继续需要在反恐和地方执法方面投入大量协调资源，以阻止此类袭击。”
中期选举格局：阻止民主党蓝色浪潮的三大力量
克洛布查尔正参选接替即将退休的民主党州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹，她强调：“我们州必须直面恐怖主义和暴力犯罪，与联邦执法部门和地方警察局合作，保障明尼苏达州民众的安全。”

她在州长对决中的共和党对手、众议院议长丽莎·德穆特也赞扬了执法部门。
“我感谢联邦和地方执法部门阻止了这场潜在的灾难性受ISIS启发的恐怖袭击阴谋。得知一名年轻人可能被引上这条道路，这令人恐惧，”德穆特在X平台上写道。
“幸运的是，我们有执法官员和美国检察官办公室的成员，他们能够开展必要工作，阻止这场可怕的大规模暴力事件在我们社区发生。

Minnesota Senate candidate warns of heightened threat level in wake of foiled terror plot, Somali gang violence surge
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya is sounding the alarm about crime levels in the state amid a wave of Somali gang violence and a foiled terror plot by an American born to Somali parents.

Republican Senate nominee Michele Tafoya says people in her home state of Minnesota “feel under a level of threat” after the FBI arrested an 18-year-old who allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and discussed carrying out a mass shooting at the Mall of America.
Tafoya, who is aiming to flip a Democrat-controlled open Senate seat as she faces off against Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in the midterm elections, praised authorities in an X post, writing, “Thank you to @FBIMinneapolis and law enforcement for stopping a potential mass-casualty attack.”
But she also pointed to the midterms as she argued, “This November, the choice is clear: law and order or more of the same. Common sense or chaos.”
Authorities said Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud had been under investigation for nearly two years before he was arrested on the spot after buying an AK-47-style rifle, magazines and ammunition from an undercover FBI employee.
FBI: MALL OF AMERICA TERROR PLOT THWARTED
“This was a radicalized young man who needed to be watched,” U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen said Wednesday at a news conference. Rosen added that agents “were able to detect a threat and disrupt it before the defendant carried out his intention to kill, in his words, maybe 30 to 60 people.”
Mohamud, according to an FBI agent’s sworn complaint, repeatedly affirmed in chat messages to the informant that he intended to attack and kill non-Muslims at the mall on Oct. 24, the date of a scheduled Hmong arts celebration. The Hmong are an ethnic group from East and Southeast Asia with a large community in Minnesota.
Tafoya, in a Fox News Digital interview, said, “I hear a lot of concerns from Minnesotans on the campaign trail about crime, and no matter what form that crime takes, Minnesotans know that they feel under a level of threat that has increased lately here in Minnesota.
“And in the last week and just today, we saw the arrest of an 18-year-old … American citizen to Somali parents arrested for … planning a terrorist attack at the Mall of America,” Tafoya said, as she referred not only to the thwarting of the terror plot, but also a recent spate of gang gun violence tied to what some in local law enforcement say are members of “the Somali American community.”

“He basically stated that he wanted to take out anyone who was not a Muslim. He also noted that the Mall of America is owned by people who are Jewish,” Tafoya added. “Again, he is of Somalian descent, and terror is alive and well. And thank God we averted this massive crisis.”
Flanagan, in a statement on X, wrote, “I’m relieved that a horrific attack on Minnesota was prevented and grateful for the actions of law enforcement.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Flanagan’s campaign for more reaction to the terror plot arrest and to Tafoya’s comments but didn’t receive a response at the time this article was published.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, wrote in a statement, “I’m grateful for the heroic work of law enforcement that prevented a mass shooting and terrorist attack at the Mall of America. This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these.”

Her Republican rival in the gubernatorial showdown, House Speaker Lisa Demuth, also praised authorities.
“I’m grateful for the work of federal and local law enforcement that stopped this potentially catastrophic ISIS-inspired terrorist plot. It’s frightening to know that a young person could be led down this path,” Demuth wrote on X.
“It’s fortunate that we have law enforcement officials and members of the U.S. Attorney’s Office that were able to do the work necessary to prevent a terrible act of mass violence from taking place in our community.”
