The FBI announced that it has foiled a New Year’s Eve terror plot in North Carolina, preventing a potential attack planned for the night of 31 December. The information was released by the federal agency in a post published on X.
According to the FBI, the suspect involved in the New Year’s Eve terror plot in North Carolina was “directly inspired” by ISIS ideology. Authorities did not disclose specific operational details but confirmed that the intervention took place before any imminent threat could materialise.
