Three men have been arrested in connection with a purported ISIS-linked plot to kill US Special Forces operatives using rocket-propelled grenades and drones. The suspects, Bereen Dzayee from Lakeside, California, Elias Shamsaldeen from Porterville, California, and Bisaam Ghafoor from Leawood, Kansas, were taken into custody on Friday. Federal prosecutors allege that the trio communicated for over a year about extremist plans, including discussions about joining ISIS overseas. They reportedly attempted to purchase weapons, paying $2,000 to someone they believed was connected to ISIS. Dzayee is accused of proposing drone attacks on Special Forces, while Shamsaldeen allegedly expressed a desire to carry out a knife attack on a serviceman. Ghafoor made violent statements, including aspirations to kill numerous Americans. The arrest of Dzayee drew significant attention from neighbors, many of whom were shocked to learn of his alleged involvement in such activities, especially given his reported military background, which remains unverified by the Pentagon. Residents described the arrest scene as unsettling, with tactical officers surrounding Dzayee's home for several hours.
