A recent indictment has shed light on a thwarted attack planned for a UFC cage-fighting show at the White House. Eight men were charged with murder and terrorism conspiracy for their alleged roles in the plot, which involved drones and snipers.
The indictment, returned in Ohio, charges the men with two separate conspiracies. One involves providing material support to terrorists, and the other involves committing murder on federal government territory and murdering a federal government official.
Further details on the plot and the indictment are available from the source, including the timeline of events and the items amassed by the group. The indictment provides some information on the planned attack, but some details remain unclear.
