另有两人因涉嫌本月早些时候袭击白宫UFC赛事的阴谋被起诉,这为美国司法部认定该团伙在策划未遂袭击方面的准备程度提供了新细节。

根据一份新的刑事起诉书,其中一名于周日在密苏里州母亲家中被捕的男子告诉警方,他感觉自己“武装了一名恐怖分子”。

这名男子名叫乔丹·林克(Jordan Rincker),据称他向案件中的另一名被告提供了一把枪支,以换取金钱、一台电脑和一台3D打印机,用于帮助制造搭载爆炸物的无人机。

根据起诉书,林克告诉执法人员,他一直在欺骗该团伙,他不会制造无人机,也没有爆炸物。

另一份于周一公布的刑事起诉书显示,威廉·李·斯巴达克斯·福克纳(William Lee Spartacus Falkner)曾在与其他几名被告的群聊中详细讨论如何改装搭载爆炸物的无人机、哪种爆炸物最能造成最大破坏,以及他们该如何购买无人机和其他零部件。

美国司法部表示,福克纳和林克均于周一首次在联邦法院出庭。CNN已联系两人的律师。

起诉书显示,6月初,该团伙中有人警告称,距离UFC赛事还有一周时间,需要准备好无人机,并补充道“这将会是一场该死的大屠杀(爱心表情)”,福克纳回复称目前已有5架无人机。

“如果想把事情做好,每架无人机的成本在200至300美元之间,”福克纳据称告诉团伙成员,并补充道他们应该购买无法被执法部门远程干扰、且可承载“至少12磅”重量的特定型号无人机。

起诉书中引用了福克纳据称发出的信息,内容包括他一人即可同时操控40余架无人机,以及他们该使用何种爆炸物以造成最大破坏,但并未提及福克纳是否拥有无人机或爆炸物。

上周联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)首次报道并公布了该阴谋案的首批逮捕行动,据起诉书称,福克纳随后在Instagram上发送了一条消息。

“工作行程取消了,我的老板被抓了,”福克纳写道,并附上了一篇关于此次逮捕的新闻文章。

“我发给你的这篇文章提到了所有人的参与,但没提我和你已经认识的那些人,”福克纳补充道,“因为我们做了防范措施。顺便说一句,我的手机已经越狱了。”

根据起诉书,福克纳还写道,“我们一开始就不信任我的老板能把这件事做好”,并且“我们都觉得哪里出了问题”。

福克纳据称还表示自己“仍在被付钱”。

起诉书称,在UFC赛事举办前几天,另一名被告、该团伙所谓头目亚伯拉罕·阿尔瓦雷斯(Abraham Alvarez)将林克加入了一个私人聊天群,该群讨论了使用搭载爆炸物的无人机和狙击手袭击UFC赛事的计划。

阿尔瓦雷斯在群中介绍林克为“我们的制造商”,林克本人也表示他可以帮助制造搭载爆炸物的小型无人机。

根据起诉书,阿尔瓦雷斯给了林克一台3D打印机、盾牌、夜视仪、1000多美元现金和一台Mac迷你电脑。

林克后来告诉阿尔瓦雷斯,他找到了爆炸物,并向阿尔瓦雷斯发送了3D打印机的照片,称其“运转起来简直棒极了,兄弟”。林克还据称向其他人分享了阿尔瓦雷斯计划在7月初袭击密苏里州一场国际足联世界杯赛事的所谓密谋方案,执法部门认为该方案属实。

林克告诉探员,他清楚他们为何找上自己,他没有爆炸物,只是因为想帮朋友才开车去见阿尔瓦雷斯。

“他说出自己的意图时,我就该抽身而退,我真是个白痴。但你们都清楚情况,”他对调查人员说道,根据起诉书。他还据称表示,自己将猎枪交给阿尔瓦雷斯,相当于“武装了一名恐怖分子”。

起诉书还称,当被问及向团伙提出使用聚氯乙烯(PVC)管制造无人机的想法时,林克表示“我只是随口胡诌些点子,让他们以为我真的在造无人机”,他本打算私吞这笔钱,留下那台打印机。

“林克称,阿尔瓦雷斯给他3D打印机是为了制造无人机,”起诉书中写道,“他不清楚阿尔瓦雷斯是否想让他在无人机上装载爆炸物,但‘从目前的情况来看,这很可能就是方向’。”

Justice Department charges two more in alleged plot to attack White House UFC event

Two additional men face federal charges in an alleged plot to attack a UFC event at the White House earlier this month.
One defendant allegedly discussed rigging drones with explosives and controlling over 40 drones at once, according to court complaints.
Another suspect told investigators he felt he had armed a terrorist by providing a firearm to the alleged group leader.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

Two more men have been charged in the alleged plot to attack the UFC White House fight earlier this month, providing new insight on how far in preparation the Justice Department believes the group came in carrying out the would-be attack.

One man, who was arrested Sunday at his mother’s home in Missouri, told officers he felt he had “armed a terrorist,” according to a new criminal complaint.

The man, Jordan Rincker, allegedly gave another defendant in the case a firearm in exchange for money, a computer and a 3D printer to help build drones rigged with explosives.

Rincker, according to the complaint, told law enforcement he had been lying to the group and didn’t know how to build drones and had no explosives.

Another man whose criminal complaint was released Monday, William Lee Spartacus Falkner, spoke at length in a group chat with several other defendants about how he could rig drones with explosives, which explosives would be best to cause maximum damage, and how they could purchase the drones and other parts.

Both Falkner and Rincker made their initial appearances in federal court Monday, according to the Justice Department. CNN has reached out to their attorneys.

In early June, when one person from the group warned they had a week before the UFC fight to get drones – adding that, “It’s gonna be a f*cking bloodbath (heartface emoji)” – Falkner replied they had five drones so far, according to the complaint.

“We’re looking at 200-300$/drone if you want this done right,” Falkner allegedly told one of the groups, adding that they should purchase specific drones that can’t be remotely jammed by law enforcement and can carry “at least 12 pounds.”

The complaint quotes messages allegedly from Falkner discussing how he alone could control over 40 drones at a time and what explosives they should use for maximum damage but does not say if Falkner had any drones or explosives in his possession.

When news of the first spate of arrests over the alleged plot were first reported and announced by FBI Director Kash Patel last week, Falkner allegedly sent a message over Instagram.

“Work trip is canceled. My boss got picked up,” Falkner wrote, with a news article on the arrests attached, the complaint says.

“In the article I sent you it mentions the involvement of everyone but me and the people you already know,” Falkner allegedly added. “Because we took precautions. My phone is jailbroken btw.”

According to the complaint, Falkner also wrote that “we didn’t trust my boss to do this right going into everything” and that “we all felt something was going wrong.”

Falkner allegedly said he was “still being paid.”

In the days leading up to the UFC event, Rincker was added to a private chat – discussing plans to attack the UFC fight using drones rigged with explosives and snipers – by another defendant and alleged leader of the group, Abraham Alvarez, the complaint says.

Alvarez introduced Rincker in the group as “our manufacturer” and Rincker himself said he could help make small drones rigged with explosives, according to the complaint.

Alvarez gave Rincker a 3D printer, shield, night vision goggles, over $1,000, and a Mac minicomputer, according to the complaint.

Rincker later told Alvarez he found explosives and sent pictures of the 3D printer to Alvarez, adding that it was working “like a damn champ brother.” Rincker also allegedly shared with others what law enforcement believes was a proposed plot by Alvarez to attack a FIFA World Cup game in Missouri in early July.

Rincker told the agents he knew why they were there, that he had no explosives, and had only drove to meet Alvarez because he wanted a friend.

“I’m a real idiot for not stepping aside the moment he said what he wanted. But it’s what you guys know,” he told investigators, according to the complaint. He also allegedly said he “armed a terrorist” by giving his shotgun to Alvarez.

Rincker also said, according to the complaint, when asked about his idea to the group of using PVC pipe in building drones, that he “was just giving them bullsh*t ideas to make them think I was building a drone” and planned to just pocket the money and keep the printer.

“Rincker stated that Alvarez gave him the 3D printer to make drones,” the complaint states, “and that he didn’t know if Alvarez wanted him to load the drones with explosives, but ‘from the sounds of everything, that’s probably where this [was] leaning.’”
