4 Charged in California Plot, Prompting Skepticism and Doubts
AP News reports that federal authorities have arrested four individuals in Southern California who are suspected of planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve. The suspects, allegedly members of an offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, were arrested in Lucerne Valley while preparing to test improvised explosive devices. The group had planned to target several locations across Southern California, including ICE agents and vehicles, and faces charges including conspiracy and possession of a destructive device. Authorities found bomb-making materials at a desert campsite where the suspects were arrested.
