Federal authorities have arrested two more people in connection with the foiling of a Halloween terror plot, according to a law enforcement source.
Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzal and Milo Sederat were arrested on Tuesday and their other accomplices are still under investigation and more arrests are possible, the source told Fox News Digital.
It was not immediately clear whether these were some of the unnamed co-conspirators previously named in court documents.
The NYPD’s Bureau of Intelligence and Counterterrorism played a role in their capture. NBC News reported earlier.

Federal prosecutors on Monday announced charges against Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, both 20, of Dearborn, Michigan, for their alleged roles in the conspiracy that involved multiple unnamed co-conspirators and a teenager, according to court documents.
They are accused of stockpiling guns and ammunition, opening fire and surveilling an LGBT nightclub strip in Ferndale as a potential target, according to the federal criminal complaint.

They allegedly called their plot “pumpkin” and planned to attack one or more nightclubs on Halloween, inspired in part by the terrorist attacks on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016 and the Bataclan in Paris, France, a year earlier.
The FBI executed a search warrant Friday at Ali and Mahmoud’s home and a storage unit they shared, seizing multiple semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun, handguns, tactical gear and more than 1,600 5.56 rounds.
