15 Dec
Summary
- Four individuals arrested for allegedly planning to bomb two US companies.
- The group intended to use precursor chemicals to create explosive devices.
- The plot targeted logistic centers in the Los Angeles area.
Federal agents have apprehended four individuals accused of plotting to bomb two American companies. The US Attorney General stated that "far-left" extremists were prevented from executing a "massive and horrific terror plot" that was planned for New Year's Eve.
The suspects, identified as Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai, allegedly gathered with precursor chemicals in the desert to construct bombs. Surveillance footage captured their movements before a coordinated operation by the FBI SWAT team led to their arrest without incident.
Authorities revealed the bombing plot specifically targeted logistic centers in the Los Angeles area, with the attacks planned for midnight on New Year's Eve. The group also allegedly discussed using pipe bombs against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and vehicles in the months following the planned bombings.
