Two of eight men charged in an alleged terrorism conspiracy to attack a UFC event at the White House pleaded not guilty. The foiled plot raises questions about security at high-profile venues.
Two of eight men charged in an alleged terrorism conspiracy to attack a UFC event at the White House pleaded not guilty. The charges involve a foiled plot that authorities say could have targeted a high-profile venue with presidential presence or security detail nearby.
This is one of eight defendants in what prosecutors describe as a coordinated terrorism conspiracy. The fact that two entered not guilty pleas suggests they're contesting the charges or prosecutors' evidence, which will be tested in court. The broader question is whether this represents a serious coordinated threat or a group of individuals who discussed ideas online without capability to execute them. Either way, the plot reaching the White House as a target location, and getting far enough along for arrests and charges, indicates law enforcement saw enough intent and planning to intervene.
