Charges have been announced in connection with the thwarted, alleged bombing planned in Southern California on New Year’s Eve.
Audrey Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante James Anthony-Gaffield, and Tina Lai are each charged with one count of providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists, and one count of possession of unregistered firearms, according to the Department of Justice on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
Carroll and Page are also charged with one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The four are all in federal custody and are scheduled to be arraigned in January, according to the DOJ.
Authorities announced their arrests on Dec. 15 and alleged they are members of a radicalized faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, described as an anti-government group. Authorities allege that Carroll drafted a plan that described a bombing plot targeting businesses across Southern California that was set to occur at midnight on New Year’s Eve and had recruited Page, Anthony-Gaffield, and Lai to “join the attack plan.”
