Quote:Federal authorities say four people are charged with plotting bombing attacks across Southern California on New Year's Eve. Authorities say FBI surveillance video shows the suspects testing their explosives. They're accused of being members of an offshoot of a pro-Palestinian group dubbed the "Turtle Island Liberation Front." Prosecutors describe it as a “radical anti-government” group.
FBI Agents foiled an alleged terror plot targeting Los Angeles, California. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: "Over the weekend, the @FBI disrupted a credible, imminent terrorist threat and arrested FOUR individuals connected to the Los Angeles area.The subjects self-identified as members of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), an extremist group motivated by pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government ideology. They were allegedly planning coordinated IED bombing attacks on New Year's Eve, targeting five separate locations across Los Angeles. In the days since, @FBINewOrleans arrested an additional FIFTH individual believed to be linked to this radical TILF subgroup - also allegedly planning a separate violent attack. Outstanding work by our investigators and law enforcement partners @TheJusticeDept. Their work undoubtedly saved countless lives.@FBILosAngeles will hold a press conference later today to share additional details."
