Utah Bombing Plot Failed

There is no mention of a vigil, but I can't imagine why else a news van would be targeted at this location. FBI investigation leads to arrest in Utah bombing plot. The location was near where Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were arrested in Salt Lake County on Sunday on two counts of weapon of mass destruction – manufacture/possess/sell/use, a first-degree felony; attempted aggravated arson, a first-degree felony; four counts of explosive/chemical/incendiary – possessing parts, second and third-degree felonies; and two counts of threat of terrorism – use of weapon/hoax mass destruction, a second-degree felony.

The did try to set off the device, but if failed to detonate. Authorities did determine that it was a real bomb.

Hat tip to William Teach at Pirate's Cove: Two “Utah Men” Arrested For Trying To Blow Up Bomb Near Where Charlie Kirk Was Murdered

Magna, Utah is a suburb of Salt Lake City about 10 miles west of downtown, right on the shores of Great Salt Lake.

That’s a weird Mormon name.

Authorities have not said how/if the two men are related.
