Three Kansas men being held by federal authorities allegedly
plotted to blow up a Muslim mosque and an apartment building
predominantly occupied by Somali refugees.
According to WRAL,
one member of a Kansas militia group wore a wire while members of a
splinter group of the Kansas Security Force that called itself “the
Crusaders” discussed the proposed attacks on Muslims in their community.
The three men were identified as Patrick Eugene Stein, Gavin
Wright and Curtis Allen, with all three men facing charges of
conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy against
civil rights for the terrorist attack which was planned following the
2016 election.
According to the report, the men met in August of 2016 and
planned the attack on a Garden City apartment complex and discussed how
to create homemade bombs, while picking out various targets where
Muslims congregated.
