Seth Aaron Pendry was arrested. According to officials, the suspect brought a rifle to the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 attack on the Parliament Building.

On January 8, 2021, Pendry posted a 'dangerous' 'do a little experiment' that would be 'blamed' on the militia forum 'MyMilitia.com'. At that time, I was asked what kind of experimental results I wanted, and answered 'death.' The case was reported to the FBI and the suspect was under surveillance.

In late January 2021, Pendry plans to 'blow up Amazon's data center with a plastic explosive (C-4) and'kill 70% of the Internet'.' The person who communicated this through the messenger app Signal also provided information to the FBI.



On March 31, 2021, the informant introduced Pendry to the 'explosives provider.'

Then on April 8, 2021, Pendry was arrested by another FBI agent on standby in response to a 'fake bomb' deal with an FBI undercover agent.

If Pendry is convicted, he will be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.
