Terrorists plotted to detonate weapons of mass destruction across LA, feds say in bombshell new charges

Two suspects in a far-left “anti-capitalist, anti-government” extremist group have been charged with plotting to detonate weapons of mass destruction in and around Los Angeles in a bombshell grand jury indictment.

Their alleged attack was designed to “completely pulverize” tech companies and logistics firms, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

A federal grand jury slapped four members of the radical “Turtle Island Liberation Front” with terrorism charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, providing material support to terrorists and possession of unregistered firearms.

Zachary Aaron Page, a 32-year-old trans woman, and Audrey Illeene Carroll, a 30-year-old who goes by the nickname “Black Moon,” were both charged with one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.

All four defendants — Page, Caroll and Dante James Anthony-Gaffield, 24, and Tina Lai, 41 — are being held without bond. Page was denied a request to transfer to a women’s prison in a hearing last week. Micah James Legnon, a 29-year-old transgender Marine vet, was also arrested in Louisiana in connection with the alleged plot.

The Turtle Island Liberation Front is an anti-capitalist and anti-government group, according to prosecutors. The four defendants also are members of what Carroll called a “radical” TILF faction that communicated via an encrypted messaging group called “Order of the Black Lotus.”
