Gunman Found with Explosives in Attempted Trump Assassination
Reports from US security sources disclosed to Fox News reveal that Thomas Mathew Crooks, the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, was found with explosive materials both in his car and at his residence.
The incident unfolded during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Crooks’ vehicle, parked nearby, contained bomb-making components, including an improvised explosive device (IED).
While specific details on the number and type of explosives were not fully disclosed, it was confirmed that multiple hazardous materials were discovered.
Law enforcement further discovered additional bomb-making materials at Crooks’ residence.
The 20-year-old assailant reportedly used an AR-style weapon during the attempted assassination, firing multiple shots, though none successfully hit Trump, only grazing his ears.
Swift response from the Secret Service led to Crooks’ immediate neutralization.
The incident has raised significant concerns regarding security measures at public events and the ongoing safety protocols surrounding high-profile political figures.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
