联邦检察官逮捕了两名新的被告，他们涉嫌密谋袭击本月早些时候白宫的终极格斗锦标赛根据周一公开的法庭文件。
联邦检察官逮捕了密苏里州男子乔丹·林克和华盛顿州男子李浩·福克纳，他们分别成为第六和第七名被告，面临与该阴谋有关的指控。林克尔和福克纳被指控与至少还有五个人上周被指控策划了这起阴谋。
检察官说，在6月12日的一次面对面会谈中，林克尔接受了内布拉斯加州同谋者亚伯拉罕·阿尔瓦雷斯(Abraham Alvarez)支付的1200美元现金，并向他提供了一把泵动猎枪。
根据法庭文件，林克尔还向加州被告布莱恩·罗阿(Bryan Roa)汇了100美元，作为他从加州开车到华盛顿特区参加终极格斗锦标赛的费用。
检察官指出，据称在该组织似乎放弃针对UFC事件的计划后，Rincker和Alvarez之间交换了6月13日的消息。阿尔瓦雷斯发消息说，该组织“应该准备好攻击”，检察官说，这似乎是针对堪萨斯城的国际足联世界杯。
在与阿尔瓦雷斯的其他信息中，林克尔讨论了使用3D打印机，他声称是用来制造制造无人机所需的部件，这些无人机将用于在UFC赛事上引爆炸药-尽管在周日接受调查人员采访时，林克尔说他从未试图设计无人机，甚至不知道如何做到这一点。
根据他的逮捕宣誓书，福克纳被指控在电报聊天中与同谋交流他购买和操作无人机的能力以及使用炸药实施袭击的能力。
据称，Falkner与该组织详细讨论了无人机可以安装炸药的方式，包括155毫米炮弹，并声称他能够同时飞行多达40架。
“我很确定有效杀伤半径是50米，”福克纳说。“会很吵，但会很快。”
然而，根据法庭文件，尚不清楚调查人员是否在调查中缴获了任何无人机或爆炸物。
在他们为Rincker提供的证词中，检察官提供了他们对涉嫌策划UFC攻击另一个加密消息应用Signal的团体的调查的新细节。
执法部门只是俄亥俄州男子Tycen Proper的母亲向警方提出担忧后，警方对这一阴谋警觉起来关于他最近收集枪支和在网上与人交谈的问题。根据这份证词，美国联邦调查局官员从Proper的房间里拿走了一本日记，里面有一份大约46人的名单，包括名人和政治家。
在对Proper的调查导致他们搜查了他的手机并访问了他的信号聊天记录后，调查人员确定了参与策划UFC袭击的其他多人，包括密苏里州男子Daniel Eskridge，他是上周被捕的人之一。
根据林克尔证词中包含的信号聊天记录，埃斯克里吉在上个月的聊天中广泛讨论了该组织应如何计划一次或一系列将使该国走向革命的袭击，以及那些作为杀戮目标的人应该是“不容易变成右翼或左翼的人”，并补充说，“我们希望有人双方都庆祝。”
然而，福克纳似乎直接谈到了针对唐纳德·特朗普总统的问题，他在电报聊天中说，“这不会是一面像他生命中最后10次企图那样的假旗”——指的是特朗普的暗杀企图是精心策划的阴谋论。

7 people now face charges in plot targeting UFC event at White House
Federal prosecutors have arrested two new defendants in connection with the alleged plot to attack theWhite House's UFC event earlier this month, according to court documents unsealed on Monday.
Federal prosecutors arrested Missouri man, Jordan Rincker, and Washington man, William Lee Falkner -- making them the sixth and seventh defendants, respectively, to face charges in connection with the plot. Rincker and Falkner are alleged to have conspired withat least five otherscharged last week in coordinating the plot.
Prosecutors say Rincker accepted a $1,200 cash payment from Nebraska co-conspirator Abraham Alvarez and provided him with a pump action shot gun during an in-person meeting on June 12.
Rincker also wired $100 to California defendant Bryan Roa for his drive from California to Washington, D.C. for the UFC event, according to the court documents.
Prosecutors point to messages from June 13 allegedly exchanged between Rincker and Alvarez after the group appeared to back away from plans to target the UFC event.Alvarez messaged that the group instead "should prepare for an attack" that prosecutors said appeared to be directed against the FIFA World Cup in Kansas City.
In other messages with Alvarez, Rincker discussed using a 3D printer that he claimed to be using to manufacture parts needed to construct the drones that they'd use to detonate explosives over the UFC event -- though in an interview with investigators on Sunday, Rincker said he had never attempted to design a drone and didn't even know how to do it.
Falkner is alleged to have communicated with co-conspirators in Telegram chats about his ability to procure and operate drones and the use of explosives to carry out the attack, according to his arrest affidavit.
Falkner is alleged to have discussed in detail with the group ways the drones could be rigged with explosives including 155mm artillery shells -- and claimed he was capable of flying up to 40 simultaneously.
"I’m pretty sure the effective kill radius is 50 meters," Falkner said. "It will be loud, but it’ll be quick."
It's still unclear, however, based on the court documents, whether investigators have seized any drones or explosives in connection with their investigation.
In their affidavit for Rincker, prosecutors provide new details on their investigation into the group that allegedly planned the UFC attack on another encrypted messaging app, Signal.
Law enforcement was onlyalerted to the plot after the mother of Ohio man, Tycen Proper, raised concerns to policeabout his recent amassing of firearms and troubling conversations with individuals online.According to the affidavit, FBI officials seized a journal from Proper's room that included a list of approximately 46 names, including celebrities and politicians.
After their investigation of Proper led them to search his phone and access his Signal chats, investigators identified multiple others involved in planning the UFC attack including Missouri man Daniel Eskridge, who was among those arrested last week.
According to Signal chats included in Rincker's affidavit, Eskridge extensively discussed in chats last month how the group should plan an attack or series of attacks that would bring the country toward revolution and that those targeted for killing should be "someone that can't be easily turned into a right vs left thing," adding, "we want someone both sides would celebrate."
Falkner, however, appeared to speak about targeting President Donald Trump directly, saying in his Telegram chats that "this ain't gonna be a false flag like the last 10 attempted on his life" -- referring to conspiracy theories that Trump's assassination attempts were staged.
"Every week now we hear some guy went over there alone with a gun and gets shot," Falkner said. "I don’t get what’s so hard about just flying a few drones and getting some help to do so."
Neither Rincker nor Falkner had an attorney listed for them on their court dockets.
