4 arrested in Los Angeles-area New Year's Eve bombings plot, FBI says
In a social media post Monday morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the Department of Justice and the FBI “prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California.
A radical, pro-Palestinian group known as the Turtle Island Liberation Front plotted to carry out coordinated bombings against several targets in Southern California beginning on New Year’s Eve, according to federal authorities.
Multiple splinter cell members of the radical Turtle Island Liberation Front, which posts disturbing slogans such as “Death to America” on social media, were arrested last Friday for allegedly plotting a New Year’s Eve terror attack in the Los Angeles area.
Federal authorities say they thwarted a credible terrorist threat led by a “far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government and anti-capitalist” group that was planning a series of bombings in California on New Year’s Eve.
