US federal authorities have arrested four individuals accused of plotting coordinated New Year’s Eve bomb attacks across Southern California. The suspects, allegedly linked to the Turtle Island Liberation Front, were preparing to test improvised explosive devices in the desert. A fifth arrest was made in New Orleans in connection with a separate planned attack.

The case came to light in the early hours of Sunday when police in Ausa taluka of Maharashtra’s Latur district were alerted to a charred body found inside a completely burnt car.

The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, took place at ‘Samvad’, the CM’s office, where over 1,000 AYUSH doctors were receiving their appointment letters.
