Two men have been arrested after attempting to bomb a news vehicle in Salt Lake City, just days after the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
KUTV reports, “Two men have been taken into custody after an operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies in a Magna neighborhood.
“One of the suspects were identified as 58-year-old Adeeb Nasir and 31-year-old Adil Justice Ahme Nasir.
“According to a probable cause statement, bomb squads from the Salt Lake City Police Department and Unified Fire Authority responded to reports of a suspicious device.”
The device, an incendiary bomb, was placed under a news vehicle but failed to detonate as intended.
The two men were arrested on Saturday on a number of charges including two counts of weapons of mass destruction and two counts of threat of terrorism.
The FBI were brought in to investigate, and traced the individuals to a residence in Magna. Agents obtained a federal search warrant and were aided by a bomb squad from the local police department.
It’s unclear at this time whether the incident has anything to do with the murder of Charlie Kirk or the response to it, which has seen leftists gleefully celebrating on social media and in real life and also disrupting vigils held in Kirk’s memory.
The attempted bombing comes as President Trump announced leftists groups will be investigated following the murder of Charlie Kirk.
“If you look at the problem, the problem is on the left. It’s not on the right, like some people like to share the right, the problem we have is on the left,” Trump told reporters.
“And when you look at the agitator, you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that’s the left. That’s not the right.”
The President did not specify exactly which groups would be investigated, saying only “We’ll see. We’ll be announcing.”
The President also said some groups are already under investigation.
“A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left… they’re already under investigation.”
On Saturday, Trump said that although he wants to see the country heal, “we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics.”
Trump also said he would be attending Charlie Kirk’s funeral in a week.
“I’ll be going on early Sunday morning,” Trump said. “We’re going to Arizona, taking some people with us, on Air Force One. Maybe you people are going to be with us, I don’t know, but we’re going to be going… early on Sunday morning.”
The FBI is not ruling out the involvement of co-conspirators in the murder of Charlie Kirk.
On Twitter, Benny Johnson said he had spoken with a “top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk’s assassination.”
“That assumption is premature,” the official told Johnson.
“This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.”
Johnson added that “FBI sources assure me the public will ‘know everything’ about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk’s left-wing political assassin.
“The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence.”
“We have everything,” the source is reported to have told Johnson. “We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know.”
Axios has also reported that law enforcement is looking into the involvement of radical leftist groups in Utah.
“Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward,” Axios said.
“One of those groups eliminated its social media profile after the shooting.”
Users on Twitter have been speculating about the involvement of particular groups, including “Armed Queers Salt Lake City,” which wiped its social-media profile after the murder.
Authorities are also investigating whether the transgender roommate and romantic partner of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk, holds the key to understanding his motivation for the killing.
