FBI Foils Drone Terror Plot at UFC Freedom 250 on White House Grounds
Officials say the FBI has thwarted an explosives-laden drone attack planned for Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the South Lawn of the White House. The bureau arrested five suspects on June 16 following a multi-state operation. Agents executed a search warrant in Cincinnati on June 10 and made further arrests after tracking preparations in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Investigators found encrypted Signal chats linking at least 23 users. A suspect told authorities the goal was to target capitalist elites, billionaires and politicians associated with a lobbying group. FBI Director Kash Patel praised the coordinated work that prevented mass casualties. The UFC event coincided with the former president’s 80th birthday and drew around 4,300 attendees, including active-duty service members.
