Federal authorities have arrested four individuals accused of belonging to a radical pro-Palestinian group and plotting bomb attacks timed for New Year’s Eve, according to law enforcement officials.
The FBI said the suspects were taken into custody following an investigation that uncovered plans to carry out explosive attacks in the United States. Authorities reported that the group had discussed targets, methods, and timing, prompting intervention before any devices were deployed.
Officials stated that the arrests were the result of coordinated surveillance and intelligence work aimed at preventing an imminent threat to public safety. Investigators are now examining communications, materials, and potential links to other individuals or organizations.
The suspects face federal charges related to terrorism and explosives offenses. No injuries were reported, and officials emphasized that the arrests prevented what could have been a mass-casualty event.
Law enforcement agencies said the investigation remains active as prosecutors prepare court proceedings and assess whether additional arrests may follow.
