BlockBeats News, June 17th - FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Tuesday that the FBI successfully thwarted a coordinated terrorist attack conspiracy against the White House. The conspiracy was originally planned to take place during the celebration of Trump's 80th birthday and the UFC "Fight Night 250" event on June 14th, on the South Lawn of the White House, where approximately 4,300 people were gathered, including 1,200 active-duty military personnel.
It was revealed that the conspiracy involved three phases: the first phase was to use explosive-laden drones to attack buildings around the White House to create widespread chaos; the second phase aimed to trigger a mass evacuation through panic, guiding the fleeing crowd into a predetermined area where a sniper team was waiting to open fire; the third phase involved a sudden assault on the White House entrance.
The conspiracy was timely foiled thanks to a relative of one of the conspirators who proactively alerted the authorities. The FBI then obtained threat intelligence on June 10th, four days before the planned attack, and traced a clandestine network operating through the Signal encrypted communication app. It has been confirmed that a total of 23 individuals were involved in this network, and 5 suspects have been apprehended in Ohio, Missouri, and California.
Secret Service Director Sean Kural stated that the Secret Service is tirelessly pursuing all individuals involved. Trump himself, while attending the G7 Summit in France on Tuesday, told reporters that he has not yet received a formal briefing on the foiled conspiracy.
