Washington Federal law enforcement officials said Monday that four members of a far-left anti-government group have been arrested and face charges for allegedly planning a series of bomb attacks across Southern California on New Year's Eve.

FBI Director Kash Patel said that the four people who face charges were members of a group known as the Turtle Island Liberation Front. Bondi described the Turtle Island Liberation Front as a "far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group."
Bill Essayli, who leads the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, said at a press conference that the four individuals were arrested Friday in San Bernardino County, where they gathered to construct and detonate test explosive devices in the Mojave Desert. He said the suspects allegedly crafted a "detailed, coordinated plot" to bomb two U.S. companies on New Year's Eve, with the devices simultaneously exploding at midnight. Essayli did not name the companies but said they were "logistics centers."
"This case is another reminder about the dangers that radicalized antifa-like groups pose to people, public safety and the rule of law," he said.

(4,794 posts)They were targeting logistic centers - aka warehouses? Why, that literally is the lowest value target for terrorism.
This stinks like a Kash/ Bondi scheme to impressive Trump and keep their jobs.

(68,977 posts)Sounds like a parody of a 1970s news segment.
Frankly, the FBI is going to have to come up with some better labels if they want to scare us. At this point, "anti-capitalist and anti-government" sounds pretty reasonable and rational.
