In conversation's between Abu-Rayyan and the undercover agent, Abu-Rayyan described his desire to commit a martyrdom operation.
The complaint filed in federal court doesn’t specify which Detroit church he was allegedly planning to attack, only that it was close and could seat 6,000 members.
“It's easy, and a lot of people go there. Plus people are not allowed to carry guns in church. Plus it would make the news. Everybody would've heard. Honestly I regret not doing it. If I can't do jihad in the Middle East, I would do my jihad over here."He had also told the undercover agent that a church would be an easy target because people are not allowed to carry guns there and that it would make the news.
The complaint also says that he told the agent he had armed himself with a large knife and would behead people if he needed to.
“It is my dream to behead someone,” he told the agent.
