Overview

• Adeeb Nasir, 58, was booked on multiple federal felony counts including two WMD-related charges, attempted aggravated arson, explosive possession, and terroristic threat allegations, and he is being held without bail.
• Police say an incendiary device was placed under a news media vehicle near an occupied building in Salt Lake City; it had been lit but failed to function and was deemed a significant threat.
• The FBI assumed jurisdiction, identified two suspects, and tracked them to a Magna residence where agents executed a federal search warrant with local bomb squads and evacuated neighboring homes.
• Inside the home, authorities found two hoax WMDs, firearms, explosive components, and illegal narcotics, and both suspects told police the devices were real.
• A second suspect identified only as “Adil” was arrested at the Magna home and is described as a restricted person due to drug use; officials have not released his full charging documents or the pair’s relationship.
