The son of noted Iranian-American poet Roger Sedarat has been arrested in tony Montclair, New Jersey in connect with an alleged ISIS-inspired terror plot uncovered in Michigan last week, law enforcement sources said.
Milo Sedarat was arrested at his father’s home in Montclair Wednesday, sources said.
Dad Roger Sedarat is an award-winning Iranian-American poet and a professor at Queens College in New York City.
The feds also nabbed Montclair teen Tomas Kaan Guzel, 19, sources said.
They were taken into custody following a joint investigation by the NYPD’s Intelligence Bureau and the FBI. They are accused of involvement in the plot uncovered in Detroit last week, which feds say was meant to copycat the 2015 Paris ISIS attack, sources said.
Guzel was arrested in a foodcourt in Terminal B at the Newark Liberty International Airport, where police said he was waiting for a flight to Turkey with the goal of reaching Syria and training with ISIS, sources said.
The suspect was allegedly set to travel on Nov. 17, but moved the date up after news broke out about the Detroit raids against the terror suspects, officials said.
Guzel was waiting for his flight, which was set to take off early Wednesday.
