Day 2: Navy sailor, 25, is arrested for twisted ISIS plot to wreak mass havoc and 'kill 300m Americans'
Day 1 can be seen here. The Daily Mail has two photos of Mr. Dzayee one of the three vicious idiots who worked so hard with their BFF the nameless FBI informant to accomplish nothing.
[Daily Mail where America gets its news] A Navy sailor was arrested in California after he was found to be a part of a twisted ISIS plot that included his desire to 'kill 300 million Americans,' according to officials.

Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, was nabbed by the FBI on Friday, along with two 21-year-old men: Elias Shamsaldeen, of Porterville, California, and Bisaam Ghafoor, of Leawood, Kansas, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said.

The trio had been conversing online for more than a year and paid $2,000 to someone they believed was a member of the foreign terrorist organization after being told the funds would help them purchase drones and rocket-propelled grenades, prosecutors alleged.

In their messages, they discussed their detailed plans to travel out of the US and fight for ISIS, a complaint filed in Kansas federal court stated.

But it was Dzayee, who donned a Navy uniform in a now-deleted Instagram post, who specifically suggested that they target the US Special Forces, an elite American military unit, prosecutors alleged.

Meanwhile, Shamsaldeen told his online pals he wanted to 'stab and injure a US servicemember, while Ghafoor told them: 'I wish I could kill 300,000,000 Americans.'

Ghafoor also shared his desire to behead a female soldier, and that it would be 'sick' if his name was written on the drone they wished to use in the alleged attack, the DOJ revealed.

'In some of these communications, they expressed a willingness to die on behalf of ISIS,' authorities said.

Federal agents descended on Dzayee's family home on Friday around 6am, which is located on a quaint, unsuspecting cul-de-sac, startled neighbors told NBC 7.

'We looked out - it seemed to me like it was a white van that pulled up and tactical guys jumped out and surrounded the house,' one neighbor recalled to the outlet.

'Very odd in this neighborhood. So the neighbors started coming out. We didn't approach but we were watching.'

According to locals, agents then spent hours digging through the home, the family's garbage, and also talked with Dzayee's parents.

Several agents were seen carrying large brown bags out of the home, though the contents of them remain unclear.

Along with FBI agents came officials with the Terrorist Task Force, whose presence caused locals to panic even more.

'I actually walked up to the FBI agent and asked if the house was going to blow up, should the neighborhood be concerned, and he assured me, "No, we’re arresting someone is all we got",' the neighbor shared.

A man who lives nearby also told the outlet that from what he saw, Dzayee is not a social person.

Others confirmed that he served in the military, NBC 7 reported.

Following their arrests, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said: 'This administration has put terrorists, cartels, and gangs on notice.

'Today’s arrest of three individuals who allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIS makes clear our commitment to taking down terrorist networks - anywhere.

'Thanks to the vigilance of the FBI, their alleged scheme was dismantled and further acts of violence against U.S. service members were prevented.' # id) ?>

Obviously he was 90+% mouth, and not a real mass causality threat.

But, given the DOJ / Media use of careful wording eg. "...seen here wearing a navy uniform..." the does anyone know what his Navy NEC (A?) or MOS was?
Or was he a 365/200 type?


Some additional inform on the former Navy washout

3 Worked with an FBI informant? Is this another time the FBI set up their own terrorist plot so they could take it down. Like J6?
At least they didn't use a retarded man like they did before.

5 From NN2N1’s NY Post link:

The investigation began after a confidential human source working with the FBI encountered the group in an online social media forum in May 2025. Prosecutors say the men believed the source was an active ISIS member.

On or about September 1, 2025, Ghafoor told the source that he planned to get a job so he could make money to purchase an AK-47 and ammunition to start training for his fighting with ISIS, the papers say.

According to court documents, Shamsaldeen told others his mother had encouraged her children to grow up and kill Americans.

Pentagon officials confirmed Dzayee served in the Navy in 2023 and separated in 2024. Neighbors and a former classmate also shared with NBC 7 photos of him in a sailor’s uniform.


I’m glad he did not make the cut — can you imagine that in the bunk next to you?
