Skyler Philippi, a 24-year-old from Columbia, Tennessee, has been arrested and charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and destroy an energy facility in Nashville. Philippi, motivated by white supremacist ideology, planned to attack the power grid using a drone with explosives. The FBI thwarted his plot, arresting him before any damage could occur. If convicted, Philippi faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. The case highlights ongoing efforts to combat domestic violent extremism targeting critical infrastructure.
