Four suspects have been arrested as part of an ongoing counterterrorism investigation, federal officials said.
The FBI announced it disrupted an alleged terror plot that would have targeted Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, saying four individuals were arrested. Authorities stressed that details remain limited as the investigation continues.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it has foiled a planned terror attack that was allegedly intended to target Los Angeles during New Year’s Eve celebrations. According to the agency, four suspects were arrested as part of the operation.
FBI officials said the arrests followed a counterterrorism investigation that identified what authorities described as a credible plot. The agency did not immediately release details about the suspects, the alleged targets, or the methods involved.
Authorities emphasized that the individuals arrested are accused suspects and are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Federal prosecutors are expected to present charges and evidence through the judicial process.
Law enforcement officials said there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the public, though they urged vigilance during holiday events. Additional security measures were not detailed.
The FBI credited coordination among federal, state, and local agencies for disrupting the alleged plot before it could be carried out. Officials did not say whether international or domestic extremist groups were involved.
The investigation remains active, and authorities said more information will be released as court proceedings allow. The FBI encouraged the public to rely on official updates and avoid speculation.
