Two Utah men have been arrested on terrorism and weapons of mass destruction charges after federal authorities say they planted an incendiary device under a news van in Salt Lake City.
Adeeb Nasir, 58, and his co-suspect identified as “Adil” were taken into custody following a multiagency investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Salt Lake City Police (SLCPD), according to reports from local news stations KUTV and ABC4.
Nasir faces eight felony counts including attempted aggravated arson and weapons of mass destruction violations.
This incident represents a dangerous escalation in threats against news media, coming just days after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU) on September 10.
