By Reis Thebault Reis Thebault National and breaking news reporter Email Bio Follow April 29 at 7:35 PM An Army veteran who allegedly planned to bomb a Los Angeles area white supremacist rally has been arrested and his plot foiled, authorities said Monday.
“The criminal case outlines a chilling terrorism plot that developed over the past two months and targeted innocent Americans,” said Nicola T. Hanna, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, in a Monday news conference. The informant connected Domingo with a man who would he said would make them a bomb. Investigators said Domingo then purchased several hundred nails to stuff inside the bomb as shrapnel — at three inches, they’d be long enough to pierce their victims’ internal organs, he allegedly said.
“The individual charged in this case wanted to carry out a mass casualty attack with explosive devices, and he moved very quickly from talking about violence to mobilizing to commit such an attack,” Michael McGarrity, the assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Section, said in a statement. “This case should remind the public of the need to be vigilant and notify law enforcement if you see suspicious behavior.
