FBI Arrests 4 Palestinians for Planning to Detonate Pipe Bombs on New Year’s Eve in California
Recent FBI reports detail the arrest of four Palestinian nationals—identified as Abdalah Muhammad Salameh (21), Rakan Ahmad Mufleh (22), Louei Shehadeh (20), and Muhammed Hassoun (20)—on December 13, 2025, in California. Authorities charged them with plotting to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs), specifically pipe bombs packed with nails and ball bearings, at a New Year’s Eve celebration in Santa Clara County, targeting a crowd of over 100,000 at the "One Big Awesome Party" event near Levi’s Stadium.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice indictment, the suspects acquired materials like galvanized steel pipes, end caps, smokeless powder from fireworks, and cannon fuses via online purchases and visits to fireworks stands. They tested a prototype bomb in the desert, which detonated successfully. The plot involved wearing masks during the attack and fleeing the U.S. afterward. The investigation began after a tip from a confidential source in late November, leading to surveillance and a controlled delivery of bomb components.
