Picked this up from a mailing list. Apparently there was a confirmed
plot by white supremecists for a terrorist attack within the US. They
actually caught them with a bomb and plans to hit cities etc. The talk
is that since they were not muslims, the media largely ignored the
story. This was since last year though.
I think the FBI is well equipped to deal with home grown terrorists
though. They don't exactly make it hard to spot the extremists.
I'd be surprised if any of these groups actually ever carried out one of
these attacks.
"Federal authorities this year mounted one of the most extensive
investigations of domestic terrorism since the Oklahoma City bombing,
CBS 11 has learned.
Three people linked to white supremacist and anti-government groups are
in custody. At least one weapon of mass destruction - a sodium cyanide
bomb capable of delivering a deadly gas cloud - has been seized in the
Tyler area.
Investigators have seized at least 100 other bombs, bomb components,
machine guns, 500,000 rounds of ammunition and chemical agents. But the
government also found some chilling personal documents indicating that
unknown co-conspirators may still be free to carry out what appeared to
be an advanced plot. And, authorities familiar with the case say more
potentially deadly cyanide bombs may be in circulation."
