Man said he wanted to shoot up Detroit church, FBI complaint says

Source: CNN

(CNN)The FBI arrested a man who told an undercover FBI employee that he wanted to shoot up a Detroit-area church to show support for ISIS, according to a criminal complaint released Friday.

Khalil Abu Rayyan, 21, said he had picked a church but the plan fell apart because "my dad searched my car one day and he found everything. He found the gun and the bullets and the mask I was going to wear," the complaint said.

The FBI charged Rayyan with being an unlawful user of a controlled substance who possessed a firearm that traveled in interstate commerce.

The complaint said he falsely said on a gun shop form that he wasn't a marijuana user. The gun he bought in Michigan had been manufactured in Florida, the complaint said.

Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, parts of Detroit's far west side are home to the largest ME population outside of the ME, if I remember correctly.

Kinda weird that they found some ganja in his car; it's beyond me how somebody could want to kill when stoned. Yes, I know the history and origin of the word assasin.

Hopefully they catch the asshole that sold him the gun.

Thus the charge of lying on the form.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
