Teen of Indian Origin Crashes Truck to White House Barrier; Claims Wanted to Kill Prez Biden

A 19-year-old Indian-origin teenager deliberately crashed a rented truck into a White House barrier. Following the arrest, he told authorities that he wanted to get inside the White House to “seize power” and “kill” US President Joe Biden, said American media reports.

The arrested teenager was identified as Sai Varshith Kandula. HE crashed the truck into the security barriers shortly before 10 pm on Monday. Kandula told authorities he had been planning the attack for six months and detailed the plans in a “green book”. He “stated his goal was to ‘get into the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation,'” the document states.

When agents asked how he would seize power, Kandula stated he would “kill the President if that’s what I have to do and would hurt anyone that would stand in my way.”

When Secret Service agents asked Kandula about a flag with a swastika he removed from a backpack, he allegedly said he’d bought it online because Nazis “have a great history”. Kandula identified Hitler as a “strong leader” he admires, the report said.

The crash was a good distance from the White House gates. No one was injured in the crash.

Kandula, of Chesterfield, Missouri, rented the truck on Monday night immediately after flying from St Louis to Dulles International Airport on a one-way ticket.
