The U.S. federal prosecutors in Los Angeles said on Monday that authorities have foiled a New Year's Eve bombing plot targeting Southern California and charged four suspects allegedly involved in planning the attack. According to reports, the four were accused of planning to bomb multiple locations of two American companies on New Year's Eve and were all linked to an extreme anti-capitalist, anti-government organization. Prosecutors stated that the four suspects were arrested last Friday in the Mojave Desert east of Los Angeles, where they were "practicing" the attack plan, and had not yet assembled usable explosive devices. The indicted individuals include 30-year-old Audrey Irene Carroll, 32-year-old Zachary Aaron Page, 24-year-old Dante Gaffield, and 41-year-old Letya, all from the Los Angeles area. The criminal indictment states that they are alleged to be affiliated with a branch of an organization called "Turtle Island Liberation Front," which advocates for decolonization, tribal sovereignty, and calls for the working class to resist capitalism. Law enforcement also found leaflets supporting Palestine at the suspects' camp. The four are currently facing charges of conspiracy and possession of destructive devices, and prosecutors said more charges may be added in the coming weeks.
