The FBI has arrested a man suspected of plotting a terror attack at the Mall of America. Newly filed federal documents revealed today that officials arrested an 18-year-old Muslim man from Minnesota, who allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and was planning to carry out a mass shooting at Mall of America. He was detained after buying an AK-47-style rifle and ammunition from an undercover FBI agent. The suspect is being accused of planning an attack for months, allegedly telling an FBI informant, quote, I can't wait until I kill non-believers, and citing October 24th as the day he hoped to carry out his attack. That day, the suspect said, was a Hmong art celebration at the mall, which he said would mean a lot of people would be there for his attack.

In the complaint, the State Department warned Moscow that failing to disclose details about the lab worker's death goes against its international health obligations. The 2005 international health regulations require countries to notify the World Health Organization within 24 hours of assessing an event that could become an international public health emergency.

On Tuesday, President Trump told reporters that he planned to call Russian President Vladimir Putin very soon to discuss the matter. President Trump also said that he expects to be able to share additional information from US intelligence agencies in the coming days.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, Tehran has squandered several chances to strike a nuclear deal. Talks to end the seven-month war have seemingly stalled in the lead up to the midterms in November. Vice President JD Vance reiterated earlier this week that any deal must include a meaningful reduction in Iran's nuclear enrichment. But a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran will never give up its right to enrich. Meanwhile, Iran has stepped up its attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, which have yet to come down to pre-war levels.

Donald Trump (2:49)

In a tremendous victory for our country and for the city of Baltimore, Anderil is investing $3.7 billion in a state-of-the-art shipyard that will be known forever as Arsenal II. It's one of the most, one of the biggest and one of the most significant shipyards, I think, soon, very soon will be anywhere in the world will be as significant as any. That's what we're looking for right here in Sparrows Point. You'll build the next generation of American submarines, including autonomous subs, torpedo tubes and critical components for our cutting edge Virginia class attack submarines, the greatest and quietest ever built.

And thanks to record funding from my administration, the Republicans in Congress, the US. Navy is also contributing an additional $2.9 billion to support the shipyard.

In Tel Aviv, human figures were laid out on the beach to represent all those killed by Hamas terrorists and their Palestinian allies. And across the country, Israelis held a minute of silence starting at 6:29 a.m. to mark the time the attack started. This anniversary is the first that all of the living hostages among the 251 taken by terrorists that day are back home, marking a new stage in the war. In Gaza, the enclave is wrecked after three years of war to root out Hamas. According to NBC News, about 80% of the buildings in Gaza are believed to be damaged. And an estimated 2 million Palestinians still live in the enclave, mainly supported by aid from the US and others. Meanwhile, the fighting is lessened since a fragile agreement was reached last year between Hamas and Israel.
