US indicts duo over alleged Swatting spree that targeted elected officials

U.S. authorities have indicted two foreign nationals accused of running a large swatting campaign — nearly 120 fake emergency/crime reports and bomb threats — targeting members of Congress, senior officials, businesses, religious institutions, and election officials. The charges include conspiracy, multiple counts of threats and false information about explosives, and transmitting threats across interstate and foreign commerce; the actions are described as endangering people and wasting law enforcement resources.
