The FBI has arrested four people accused of planning bomb attacks in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Federal officials say the group was disrupted before it could act.
Those arrested are alleged members of a radical pro-Palestinian group. They are accused of plotting coordinated bombings at several locations in the city.
Authorities described the threat as "credible." The investigation is ongoing, and the suspects now face federal terrorism charges. The FBI stated there is no further danger to the public related to this alleged plot.
The arrests highlight ongoing security concerns during major public holidays. Law enforcement agencies routinely increase patrols and surveillance during such periods.
