Jury in Arizona bomb case hears audio using slurs

PHOENIX (AP) — Jurors in the trial of two white supremacist brothers accused of bombing a black city official in Scottsdale on Tuesday heard audio tapes of the men using racial slurs and pointing out the bombing site to a government informant.

Identical twin brothers Dennis and Daniel Mahon have pleaded not guilty in the 2004 bombing, which injured Don Logan, Scottsdale's diversity director at the time, and hurt a secretary.

Investigators used an attractive female government informant — identified as civilian Rebecca "Becca" Williams in court records — to get close to the Mahons over a five-year period in hopes that they would admit to the bombing.

Under a ruse of having to pay a traffic ticket in Scottsdale, the informant drove with the brothers to the city court, which is near the city's diversity office and the site of the bombing.

She struck up a friendship with Dennis and Daniel Mahon by displaying the Confederate flag, dressing in tank tops and shorts and sending racy photos, according to court records.

Little did the Mahons know, Rebecca Williams - an attractive woman 20 years their junior - was working as a federal informant.

Four years later, in June 2009, the white supremacist brothers from Illinois were charged in a 2004 bombing that injured a black city official in Scottsdale, Arizona.
