Federal investigators said Friday they stopped a domestic terrorism plot by a militia group that planned to detonate bombs at a Garden City apartment complex where a number of Somalis live.
Three southwest Kansas men were arrested and charged in federal court with domestic terrorism, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said at a news conference in downtown Wichita.
How the nation reacted to the Kansas terrorism plot
The three are suspected of conspiring to set off a bomb where about 120 people including many Muslim immigrants from Somalia live and worship, Beall said.
Wright is the owner of G&G Home Center in Liberal, Beall said. Allen works there.
The men are members of a small militia group that call themselves the Crusaders, Beall said. The bombing was scheduled for Nov. 9 so as to not affect the general election.
