MISSION, Kan. (AP) A Missouri man who was planning to bomb a Kansas City-area hospital killed himself in March as FBI agents served a probable cause arrest warrant, the FBI said Friday.
An autopsy determined that FBI agents shot Timothy Wilson, 36, of Raymore, Missouri, in the upper and lower extremities on March 24 on a street in Belton, Missouri, but that his cause of death was a self-inflicted wound to the head, the agency said. The FBI didn't say if Wilson shot himself before or after the agents shot him.
Investigators said Wilson was distressed by the governments response to the coronavirus crisis and motivated by racial, religious and anti-government animus, according to court documents. The plot was reminiscent of the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City. Wilson first talked of plans for an attack in April or June, but FBI agents say he moved up that timeline as the coronavirus made its way to Missouri.
The violent take-down followed a long-running domestic terrorism investigation that began in 2019 with Wilsons encrypted communications about bomb-building with Jarrett William Smith, a 24-year-old Army infantry soldier who faces prison for distributing bomb-making information through social media.

Jarrett William Smith F.B.I Information
Between August and September this year Smith using his telegram account discussed with the F.B.I source on how to make large vehicle bomb to attack an unspecified American news networks headquarters.
The name of Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke also allegedly came up during one of the conversations, who is believed to be one of Smiths targets. At one point the FBI source asked whether Mr. Smith could think of anyone in Texas who might be worth attacking, according to charging documents.Smith allegedly responded: Outside of Beto? I dont know enough people that would be relevant to cause a change if they died.

FBI Makes Arrests In Plot To Bomb Major News Network
The FBI has arrested a U-S soldier who allegedly discussed plans to bomb a major American news network, planned to travel to Ukraine to fight with violent far-right group Azov Battalion and allegedly distributed information online on how to build bombs. ABC News is reporting he also allegedly suggested targeting Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke.
According to charging documents in the case, Jarrett William Smith, who transferred to Fort Riley, Kansas, in July, joined the U.S. military only after first expressing his desire to fight in Ukraine.
On Aug. 19, 2019, Smith allegedly spoke with an FBI informant in an online chat group and discussed a plan for an attack inside the U.S., his search for more "radicals" like himself and the possibility of killing members of the group Antifa.

Lang, meanwhile, is currently facing federal charges in Florida, North Carolina and Arizona in separate cases with alleged ties to -- among other things -- a murdered couple in Florida, the terrorist group al-Shabab in East Africa and groups fighting against the Venezuelan government.
