The FBI acted after undercover agents monitored online conversations of some of the suspects in a chat group.

The suspects had undergone weapons training, and law enforcement decided to act after the suspect mentioned "pumpkin day," which investigators believe was a reference to Halloween, the source said.

According to sources, the suspects are between 16 and 20 years old, three people have been taken in for questioning.

White House senior counterterrorism director Seb Gorka confirmed that the FBI had disrupted a "jihadist terrorist plot in Detroit."

"There is currently no threat to public safety," said a spokesman for the FBI's Detroit office.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she was notified of the incident by the FBI and thanked law enforcement for their actions.
