NBC News reported that four senior law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the FBI in Detroit apprehended a group of young individuals into custody Friday morning who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween.

Those officials say the group has a nexus to some form of foreign extremism, but did not say if it was ISIS, Al Qaeda, or some other similar ideology. Officials stressed there is no current threat to the public.
