美国俄亥俄州法院近日对八名男子提起谋杀和恐怖主义共谋指控，检方称他们曾计划于今年六月在白宫举行的 UFC 笼式格斗表演期间发动攻击 [1][2]。该阴谋旨在通过制造混乱来破坏美国政府稳定，目标包括总统唐纳德·特朗普、副总统 JD 万斯、以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡以及埃隆·马斯克等人 [1][2]。
根据指控细节，涉案人员自五月起开始筹集资金并收集物资，其中包括枪支、弹药、防弹衣、炸药及无人机等装备 [2]。其中一名被告供述称，其计划驾驶装载爆炸物的无人机撞击活动现场，并在人群因恐慌逃离时进行射击 [2]。另一名 21 岁的被告钱德勒·D·斯卡格斯（Chandler D Scaggs）被指定为狙击手；尽管他曾与同伙失去联系，但随后重新联络并试图前往华盛顿参与行动 [2]。
检方指出，执法部门于六月十日获悉针对出席 UFC“自由 250"活动的唐纳德·特朗普的威胁情报，从而挫败了该袭击计划 [2]。涉案团伙成员据称持有边缘化的阴谋论观点 [1]。
An Ohio court has indicted eight men on charges of murder conspiracy and terrorism for allegedly planning a coordinated attack during the UFC cage-fighting show scheduled at the White House in June [1][2]. The alleged plot involved flying explosive-laden drones into the venue and using snipers to target high-profile attendees, aiming to create chaos that would destabilize the U.S. government [1][2]. Specific targets identified by authorities included President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Elon Musk [1].
The conspiracy reportedly began in May, during which time group members raised funds and gathered supplies including firearms, ammunition, body armor, explosives, and drones [2]. Law enforcement officials became aware of the threat on June 10 regarding a planned attack at the UFC "Freedom 250" event featuring President Trump's attendance [2]. One defendant confessed to plans involving driving an explosive-laden drone into the scene followed by shooting while crowds panicked and fled [2]. Another suspect, Chandler D. Scaggs (21), was designated as the sniper; he had previously lost contact with accomplices before re-establishing communication and attempting to travel to Washington [2]. Members of the group are accused of harboring fringe conspiracy theories that motivated their actions [1].
