FBI: Four militia members plotted to attack buildings, release poison

WASHINGTON — Four Georgia men in their 60s and 70s were arrested Tuesday, accused of being members of a right-wing militia group that plotted to attack federal office buildings and to disperse a deadly biological poison in Atlanta.

Their alleged plot was revealed to the FBI by a confidential informant last spring, and members of the group have been meeting since May with someone they thought was a black-market weapons dealer but who turned out to be an undercover federal agent, according to court documents.

"While many are focused on the threat posed by international violent extremists, this case demonstrates that we must also remain vigilant in protecting our country from citizens without our own borders who threaten our safety and security," said the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Sally Quillian Yates, in a written statement.

I read not too long ago that, according to the FBI, most terrorist acts were from either right-wing, anti-government types or neo-Nazis. Radical Islam was the single largest individual group, but there were more attacks from right wing extremists.

2. I live in Georgia and this state is full of extremists.....

Home-grown terrorism concerns me much more than any foreign threat. Domestic nut cases driven by Xtian (misinformed) zeal, NRA slogans, hatred of Obama and anything "black" or non-Hispanic white, non-heterosexual breeding, etc. are a huge threat to national tranquility.
