FBI Foils Terror Attack In North Carolina On New Year's Eve

The FBI says it has disrupted a plot to attack a North Carolina grocery store on New Year’s Eve, arresting a man who officials said was inspired by the Islamic State group and pledged his loyalty to the extremist militants. Christian Sturdivant faces a charge of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terror organization. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf. Sturdivant was arrested by federal agents on Wednesday and remained held following an appearance before U.S. District Judge Susan Rodriguez on Friday morning pending a hearing next week.

Strong Earthquake Jolts Mexico

A powerful earthquake shook southern Mexico on Friday, sending millions scrambling after the New Year holiday and briefly interrupting President Claudia Sheinbaum’s daily press conference. The 6.5-magnitude quake struck near the Pacific coast in Guerrero state at a depth of 35 km (22 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage in Guerrero, Sheinbaum and the state's governor both said. Sheinbaum was speaking in Mexico City when earthquake alarms sounded. She noted the ground was shaking beneath her before calmly evacuating alongside journalists. Sheinbaum resumed the press conference shortly afterward. She said no damage had been reported in Mexico City, where residents fled their homes and sounds of nervous dogs barking filled the streets. Guerrero is home to Acapulco and other resort areas, which are a major draw for holiday tourists. Acapulco is still recovering from a Category 5 hurricane that devastated the area in 2023.
