Two Men Arrested for Planting Explosive Device Under Utah News Vehicle

Two men, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were arrested in Magna, Utah, after allegedly planting an incendiary device beneath a Fox 13 News vehicle, which had been lit but failed to detonate. The device's discovery prompted the evacuation of nearby homes and a coordinated law enforcement response involving the FBI, Salt Lake City Police Department, and bomb squads. A search of the suspects' home uncovered additional explosives, firearms, hoax devices initially claimed to be real by the men, illegal narcotics, and related paraphernalia. The suspects face charges including Threat of Terrorism, Possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possession of Explosive Devices. Authorities have not yet established a clear motive or connection between the suspects, although the incident raised concerns about targeted threats against media outlets amid recent violence in the area. The FBI leads the ongoing investigation to determine motives and prevent future threats.
