The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced on Monday, 15 December 2025, that it successfully thwarted a terror attack targeting Southern California. Officials said the suspects were planning 'massive' and 'horrific' bombings on New Year's Eve.
The FBI confirmed it has arrested four individuals in connection with the planned attack. The suspects are allegedly part of a radical, pro-Palestine, anti-government, far-left extremist group called the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF). They were apprehended in a desert east of Los Angeles while allegedly practising the assembly of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
