Eight men were indicted Thursday on federal murder and terrorism conspiracy charges for their alleged roles in a planned drone and sniper attack on a UFC cage-fighting event held at the White House in June. The indictment, returned in Ohio, charges all eight defendants in two separate conspiracies: one to provide material support to terrorists and another to commit murder on federal government territory and to murder a federal government official.
According to the indictment, the group began collecting money, firearms, ammunition, body armor, explosives, drones, medical equipment, communications equipment, and other items in May.
The plot was thwarted before any attack occurred.
