Summary

An anti-Trump conservative summit in Washington, DC, was evacuated Sunday due to a “credible bomb threat” allegedly sent by an account claiming to represent Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader.

The threat, which named several high-profile attendees, remains unverified by police. Tarrio, who was arrested over the weekend, denied involvement and threatened legal action.

The event, an alternative to CPAC, featured prominent anti-Trump conservatives and ex-law enforcement officers who had clashed with Tarrio earlier.

DC tensions were heightened amid the CPAC gathering and related protests.

    Simply not true. Many organizations gave warning before bombing.

    The Israeli military does that now, for example.

    Looking to history, the IRA usually gave warning when they planted a bomb.
