In a significant development linked to a disrupted Halloween terror plot, federal authorities have apprehended two additional individuals, according to a reliable source within law enforcement.

On Tuesday, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzal and Milo Sederat were taken into custody. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are scrutinizing other potential accomplices, suggesting the possibility of further arrests, as shared with Fox News Digital by the source.

Currently, it remains uncertain if these individuals are among the unnamed co-conspirators previously identified in court documents.

The New York Police Department’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau played a crucial role in these arrests, as reported by NBC News. Their collaborative efforts were instrumental in advancing the operation.

On Monday, federal prosecutors announced charges against Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, both 20 and both from Dearborn, Michigan, for their alleged roles in the plot, which involved multiple unnamed co-conspirators and a juvenile, according to court documents.

They are accused of stockpiling guns and ammunition, practicing shooting and scouting a strip of LGBT nightclubs in Ferndale as potential targets, according to a federal criminal complaint.

They allegedly code named their plot “pumpkin” and planned to attack one or more nightclubs on Halloween, inspired in part by terror attacks at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016 and the Bataclan in Paris, France, a year earlier.

The FBI executed search warrants Friday on the homes of Ali and Mahmoud and a storage unit they shared, seizing multiple semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun, handguns, tactical gear and more than 1,600 rounds of 5.56 ammunition.

Ali and Mahmoud are being held without bail until at least Monday, when they are due in federal court in Detroit for detention hearings.

Court dates for Jimenez-Guzal and Sederat were not immediately clear.
