White supremacist planned to blow up Nashville power station with
explosives-laden drone, Justice Department says
A Tennessee man with ties to white nationalist groups has been
arrested after federal prosecutors say he tried to use what he thought
was a drone packed with explosives to destroy a power station in
Nashville, the Justice Department said Monday.
Skyler Philippi, 24, was charged with attempting to use a weapon of
mass destruction and attempting to destroy an energy facility,
prosecutors said in a news release.
According to a recently unsealed criminal complaint, Philippi
allegedly told multiple undercover sources from the FBI that he wanted
to blow up multiple energy stations to "shock the system" and lead to
the collapse of the nation's power grid. He also allegedly talked
about other attacks, including a mass shooting at at YMCA facility and
a plan to derail a train in Tennessee. Philippi allegedly told the FBI
sources that he was affiliated with multiple white supremacist groups
and said he believed a conspiracy theory about the 9/11 attacks.
