Patrick Stein, Curtis Allen and Gavin Wright were arrested for an alleged plot to attack Muslims in Kansas.
WASHINGTON ― Three Kansas men who were allegedly part of a domestic terrorist group called the Crusaders were arrested by the FBI on Friday, charged with plotting to carry out an attack on Muslims living in the state.
The men are identified as Patrick Stein, Gavin Wright and Curtis Allen, and are all in their late 40s. They belonged to a group that espoused sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs, according to an FBI agents affidavit, and allegedly plotted to attack Muslim immigrants, focusing on an apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas.
According to the Department of Justice, the trio allegedly stockpiled firearms, ammunition and explosive materials, and discussed parking four vehicles filled with explosives at the four corners of the apartment complex in order to set off a massive explosion.
The attack, which the men allegedly said would wake people up, was planned for Nov. 9, one day after the presidential election, according to the DOJ. ...........................
