A Michigan defense lawyer is challenging claims made by FBI Director Kash Patel regarding a supposed terror attack plot planned by four young suspects. Patel announced the arrests on Friday, suggesting the group aimed to carry out an attack over Halloween and cited discussions from an online chat room. However, attorney Amir Makled refuted the accusations, claiming that no genuine threat existed and that he anticipates no charges to be filed against his client. Makled described the suspects, aged 16 to 20, as gamers and expressed doubt about any illegalities in their online activities. Despite the FBI's assertions that the alleged plan reflected extremist sentiment, the actual capability to execute an attack remains unclear, with authorities stating there remains no threat to public safety.
