FBI Foils Plot to Attack White House UFC Event Using Drones and Snipers
Five men face charges after federal authorities disrupted a plan to target high-value individuals using explosive drones and snipers
United States law enforcement officials announced on Tuesday that they had successfully foiled an alleged plot to launch an attack on the White House during a mixed martial arts event. The Ultimate Fighting Championship event was attended by President Donald Trump. Following the disruption of the conspiracy, five men were charged by federal authorities for their involvement in the planned assault.[1][2]
According to authorities, the suspects had detailed plans to deploy explosive-laden drones and position snipers to target "high-value targets" during an evacuation of the venue. The Federal Bureau of Investigation disrupted these plans before the group could carry out the attack.[1][2]
In newly unsealed court filings, the government revealed that the group had allegedly expressed various grievances. These grievances reportedly focused on issues related to corruption, the Epstein files, and data centres.[1]
