The Federal Bureau of Investigation has disrupted a planned attack on a mixed martial arts event hosted at the White House, according to a security alert released on Wednesday. The plot involved the use of sniper rifles and drones to target attendees, including senior government officials. The FBI stated that the threat was specific and credible, prompting heightened security measures at the venue.
No further details on the suspects or their affiliations have been disclosed, but the bureau emphasised that the public is not at risk. The alert underscores ongoing concerns about the vulnerability of high-profile gatherings to sophisticated threats blending conventional weapons and unmanned aerial systems.
