The United States detained two residents of Texas who, according to the prosecutor’s office, were developing a plan to seize the island of Gonave in Haiti, Liter.kz reports with reference to The Guardian.
What plan did the detainees prepare?
According to investigators, 21-year-old Gavin Rivers Weisenberg and 20-year-old Tanner Christopher Thomas discussed an armed invasion of the island, planning to kill all the men and use the women and children as sex slaves. The documents say that the young people wanted to realize their “violent fantasies.”
Investigators say they intended to involve Washington’s homeless population in the plan. People without permanent residence were to become the main force in the attack.
The defendants began developing the idea in August 2024.
To implement the plan they:
- studied Haitian Creole;
- discussed buying a boat;
- looked for weapons and ammunition;
- tried to recruit people to participate in the invasion.
One of the defendants, Weisenberg, enlisted in the US Army to gain basic military skills that might be needed in an attack.
The FBI detained Weisenberg in Thailand. He went there to learn how to sail – the boat was supposed to be a means of transport for crossing to Haiti. After his arrest, the investigation expanded the scope of the investigation.
What charges have been brought?
Both men face the following charges:
– federal conspiracy to commit murder;
– conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm;
– conspiracy to kidnap people in another country;
– production of child pornography.
If found guilty, the defendants face life imprisonment.
