The suspects have been accused of plotting coordinated bombing attacks on New Year's Eve across Southern California.

Federal authorities on Monday (Dec 15) announced the arrests of four alleged members of an extremist group who are suspected of planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve across Southern California.

The suspects were arrested last week in Lucerne Valley, a desert city east of Los Angeles, where they were suspected of preparing to test improvised explosive devices ahead of the planned bombings, according to the federal criminal complaint filed Saturday.

They are members of an offshoot of a pro-Palestinian group dubbed the Turtle Island Liberation Front, the complaint said. During a news conference Monday, First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli described the group as a “radical anti-government” group.

Isn’t “turtle island” some Native American belief-the world is on the back of a turtle.

Extremists in California? How did they narrow it down to just four?

Not enough

There are too many terrorists in our country that are illegal aliens or are acting on behalf of a terrorist state.

A leftist pro-Palestinian group planning to bomb leftist pro-Palestinian Southern California.
It makes perfect sense... especially coming from the FIB, an agency specialized in false flag operations.

I have the feeling we are not any safer after the busting of this alleged terrorist cell.

“suspected” “accused”.. Geesh, here in CaCaLand that means a too-early arrest and they will be freed as soon as coppers get their graft.

I have no confidence in any aspect of CaCaLand.

The pattern of the FBI infiltration and astroturfing extremism was established with various ‘militia’ groups Patriots and events like the Oregon Standoff protest in 2016.

The FBI was in the Klan in its heyday as well not to mention Communists-Nazis etc.
