BREAKING: 18-year-old charged in foiled ISIS-linked Mall Of America terror attack

An Islamic terrorist attack on the Mall of America in Minneapolis has been thwarted by the FBI. Agents supplied Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, with a rifle and ammunition amid an undercover investigation spanning almost two years. According to a federal complaint filed in the U.S.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets center the FBI case involving a planned attack tied to the Mall of America, but they frame it a little differently. CNN and The Hill foreground the charging and investigation angle, with The Hill alone saying the suspect was supplied a rifle and ammunition in an undercover operation spanning almost two years. ABC News is the only outlet here to mention the alleged target was an arts festival at the mall, while The Independent offers only the headline and a brief note about the mall’s daily foot traffic.
