FBI Foils ISIS-inspired Terror Plot at Mall of America in Minnesota
The FBI says it foiled a terror plot against the Mall of America in Minnesota. They say the 18-year-old suspect who pledged loyalty to ISIS was preparing to carry out a mass shooting. He was arrested after he bought an AK47 and about 200 rounds of ammunition from an undercover federal agent.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on the same Mall of America terror-plot case and present it as a foiled attack, with federal charges and the suspect’s alleged targeting of the mall in both. Fox News foregrounds the police chief’s reaction and its own on-air analysis, while CNN leads with the federal news conference and the reported details of the alleged plan, including an AK-47 and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
