The Shocking Plot to Attack the White House UFC Event Unveiled

Federal prosecutors say what began as online conversations among like-minded individuals quickly evolved into something far more dangerous, culminating in an alleged plan to carry out a mass-casualty attack targeting one of the nation’s highest-profile public events.

Authorities say the alleged conspiracy advanced well beyond rhetoric, with investigators claiming the suspects acquired weapons, trained together and began traveling toward Washington before the plot was disrupted.

A federal grand jury has indicted eight men on charges related to an alleged plan to use explosive-laden drones and firearms to carry out a mass-casualty attack during a planned UFC event at the White House.
