The FBI has announced that it foiled a potential attack on last Sunday's UFC event at the White House, attended by former US President Donald Trump. The organisation claims that multiple individuals, including a US citizen, were involved in the plot, which included the use of guns and drones.
According to the FBI, the suspects had planned to carry out the attack during the UFC event, which took place at the White House South Lawn. The agency stated that the individuals involved in the plot had stockpiled the necessary equipment, including firearms and drones, to execute the attack.
While the FBI has not disclosed the identities of the suspects, it did confirm that they are cooperating with the investigation. The agency stressed that the incident highlights the ongoing threat of security threats in the US, particularly in relation to public events.
The incident has sparked concerns about the vulnerability of high-profile events in the US, including those attended by politicians. The White House has not commented on the incident, but the FBI has assured the public that it is taking the threat seriously and is working to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The US Secret Service and the FBI have been working closely together to investigate the plot and bring those responsible to justice. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for robust security measures to be in place at high-profile events.
