On Sunday, the FBI arrested two men in Salt Lake City, UT, for allegedly placing and lighting an incendiary device under a FOX13 News vehicle.
The two men, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, did this on Friday, two days after someone assassinated Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
The men “face multiple charges, including Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices.”
The men were located at the home, and during the search, told investigators that “two hoax weapons of mass destruction” that officials discovered were “real,” the arrest report stated.Because of the devices, the home was evacuated, as well as nearby homes in the neighborhood.Although the warrant was issued for the search of evidence related to the incendiary devices found under the FOX 13 News vehicle, law enforcement officials “observed additional contraband and evidence of crimes outside the scope of the original warrant, to include firearms and firearm related items, explosives and explosive-related components, illegal narcotics and associated paraphernalia, as well as electronic devices reasonably believed to contain evidence” of the original device that was discovered.According to the Salt Lake City Police Department, both men had a protective orders that prohibits them from possessing firearms.
ABC 4 reported that both of the men’s protective orders resulted from using illegal drugs.
We do not have many details right now, but from what I saw on social media, the home had anti-Trump flags in the yard, the target was a Fox News affiliate, and the incident occurred two days after Kirk’s assassination.
