White supremacists plotted to attack the US power grid by shooting electricity stations causing millions of dollars worth of damage, FBI reveal in mistakenly unsealed affidavit
The FBI is investigating an alleged white supremacist group who was planning a power outage across the southeastern U.S. by attacking the grid
Operation Lights Out was scheduled for summer 2021 when members would cut off electricity by shooting rifle rounds into power stations
The plan was told to the FBI by an informant in an affidavit from March that was mistakenly unsealed last week
It revealed an Ohio teenager, a man from Wisconsin and a Texas native who was then a Purdue University student are among those being investigated
White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern US, and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be operational on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed. The teen was in a text group with more than a dozen people in the fall of 2019 when he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training, according to the affidavit, which was filed under seal along with a search warrant application in Wisconsin s Eastern US District Court in March.

White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern United States, and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be operational on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed.
The teen was in a text group with more than a dozen people in late 2019 when he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training, according to the affidavit, which was filed under seal along with a search warrant application in Wisconsin s Eastern US District Court in March.
