New indictments<\/a> have been filed against four men, including two U.S. Marine veterans<\/a>, in connection with a plot to damage a power grid somewhere in the northwest U.S., federal prosecutors said Aug. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A news release from the U.S. Department of Justice<\/a> said Paul James Kryscuk, 35; Liam Collins, 21; Jordan Duncan, 26; and Joseph Maurino, 22, were charged on Aug. 20. Duncan, Kryscuk and Collins were previously indicted on charges of planning to illegally manufacture and sell guns. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors said the four men researched and discussed a previous attack on a power grid by an unknown group that used assault-style rifles in an attempt to explode a power substation, the news release said. Authorities have not said where that attack occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2017 and 2020, Kryscuk manufactured firearms while Collins \u2014 who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina \u2014 stole military gear, including magazines for assault-style rifles and had them delivered to the other defendants, prosecutors said. During that time, Duncan gathered information on firearms, explosives and nerve toxins and shared it with Kryscuk and Collins.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
