Not Muslims this time, but far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government and anti-capitalist/Anarchist types. They probably share the same ideology as Antifa.
I can't wait to see the mugshots of these lowlifes. You can bet they'll look just like you imagined.
An “intense” investigation by multiple agencies led to the thwarting of a terrorist attack plot targeting multiple locations in California, federal officials announced.
The Department of Justice and the FBI’s investigation “prevented what would have been a massive and horrific plot in the Central District of California,” United States Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Monday morning. She referred to the Central District of California as Orange County and Los Angeles (in reality, the district includes Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.)
Bondi identified the group behind the alleged terror plot as the Turtle Island Liberation Front and described them as “far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government and anti-capitalist.”
The “series of bombings” that the group was planning were “multiple targets in California” and they were set to occur on New Year’s Eve, Bondi said. The group was also allegedly going to target U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and vehicles.
“This was an incredible effort by our U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace,” the attorney general said. “We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice.”
FBI Director Kash Patel provided further details on the arrests, explaining that the FBI “disrupted a credible, imminent threat” with the arrests of four people in the Los Angeles area. A fifth person was arrested by the FBI’s New Orleans Office, Patel added.
“The subjects identified as members of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, an extremist group motivated by pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government ideology,” Patel said Monday morning. “They were allegedly planning coordinated IED bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve, targeting five separate locations across Los Angeles.”
The fifth individual arrested by the FBI New Orleans office is believed to be linked to the radical subgroup and was allegedly planning a separate attack, Patel further explained.
“Outstanding work by our investigators and law enforcement partners with the Justice Department,” the FBI director concluded. “Their work undoubtedly saved countless lives.”
At a press conference Monday morning, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli identified the four Los Angeles-area arrestees as:
The four are charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
Carroll is alleged to have organized the more radical offshoot of the group, known as the “Order of the Black Lotus.”
She also is alleged to have created a “detailed bombing plot” to attack five or more locations this upcoming New Year’s Eve, Essayli said. She and co-defendant Page “led the effort to build the bombs and recruit others to join their plot.”
FBI Los Angeles Office Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis called the foiling of the plot “a major victory.”
“The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force intercepted a scheme by members of a violent extremist group we believe were determined to detonate explosives at multiple businesses on New Year’s Eve,” Davis said.
Providing more details on the arrests, Davis said the four were arrested near Twentynine Palms on Friday “while they planned and rehearsed their attack.”
“The subjects arrested envisioned planting backpacks with improvised explosive devices to be detonated at multiple locations in Southern California targeting U.S. companies,” Davis continued. “These bombs were to blow up at the same time at midnight this New Year’s Eve.”
Video was shown at the press conference that depicted the group going to the desert on Dec. 12 and testing their explosive devices.
“They had precursor chemicals there and they were going to create these bombs in the desert,” Davis explained. “What they were starting to do is [assemble] their chemicals and wares and components.”
The footage was captured by a surveillance plane, Davis added, and shortly after, the four were arrested without incident by the Los Angeles-based SWAT Team and the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team.
Officials did not disclose the names of the companies that were allegedly being targeted by the group; however, U.S. Attorney Essayli said there were at least five “Amazon-type logistics centers” in Orange County and Los Angeles County.
“They were willing and wanting to do more if they could recruit more members to their radical efforts,” he told reporters.
The five people arrested are believed to be the specific individuals behind the New Year’s Eve plot, Essayli added, but more search warrants were carried out and evidence is still being reviewed.
“As we review that evidence, if we determine there were any other individuals who knew about this or provided any assistance, we will obviously charge them as well,” Essayli said.
Essayli elaborated that the person arrested in New Orleans was “not directly tied” to the New Year’s Eve plot; however, he “posed a great threat” to agents serving a search warrant and thus he was taken into custody.
The investigation and arrests were part of the FBI’s “Operation Verdant Force.”
