FBI Allegedly Foiled Terror Plot Targetting UFC Freedom 250
UFC Freedom 250 took place on Sunday, June 14 on the front lawn of the White House.
The event went off without incident, but the FBI claims there was a terror plot to disrupt the festivities. Officials told Fox News, that there was “a multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off. A ‘second wave’ of attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate.”
The FBI learned of the plans on June 10 and made arrests in Cincinnati. After investigating a suspect’s iPhone, “authorities found at least 23 users of encrypted chat app Signal involved in discussing parameters of the attack.”
“Thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
President Donald Trump and other members of the White House were in attendance for UFC Freedom 250. When asked about the alleged attacks and if he had been briefed on them, Trump said he had not heard of them.
