Sebastian Gregerson
Federal court records allege that American Muslim Sebastian Gregerson, charged with buying illegal grenades, is an Islamic State supporter who fantasized about killing local Muslim religious leaders and a park ranger, The Detroit News reports.
Newly unsealed court records for the first time portray the 29-year-old Detroiter, who also goes by the name Abdurrahman Bin Mikaayl, as a homegrown extremist who allegedly amassed an arsenal to carry out an attack while cheering mass killings in Paris and Orlando, Robert Snell writes.
The allegations are in a FBI search warrant affidavit listing probable cause to search Gregerson’s home and car, Snell reports. Agents raided Gregerson’s home on the 8300 block of Schaefer Highway south of Joy Road after authorities say he bought five illegal grenades that same day from the undercover agent.
Gregerson faces only firearms violations. Terrorism-related charges are tougher to prove.
