FBI Stops Ohio Teen’s White House Attack Plot
from Columbus News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A 19-year-old from Ohio was arrested after his mother tipped off the FBI on a chilling plot to attack a UFC event at the White House using explosive drones and snipers. The scheme, coordinated via TikTok, Signal, and Discord, involved recruiting and vetting members with alleged military ties and extreme anti-government views. The teen, who had quit his job and stocked up on tactical gear, was identified as a leader in the group. His mother’s vigilance—spotting his isolation, secretive online activity, and preparations to flee town—led to the operation being foiled before it could escalate. The FBI calls it “stopped cold,” a stark warning about how fast online radicalization can turn deadly. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
