New Jersey Teen Arrested for Plotting Electrical Substation Attack

Andrew Takhistov, 18, allegedly planned to advance white supremacist ideology by targeting energy infrastructure.

Takhistov was arrested at Newark Liberty International Airport en route to Ukraine to join a paramilitary group.
He allegedly instructed an undercover agent on how to attack New Jersey energy facilities using Molotov cocktails.
Court documents reveal months of communications glorifying violence against minorities and praising mass shooters.
Takhistov discussed broader strategies for terrorist attacks, including targeting synagogues and using homemade weapons.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $125,000 fine.
