Federal investigators said Friday they stopped a domestic terrorism plot by a militia group that planned to detonate bombs at a Garden City apartment complex where a number of Somalis live.

Three southwest Kansas men were arrested and charged in federal court with domestic terrorism, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said at a news conference in downtown Wichita.

The three are suspected of conspiring to set off a bomb where about 120 people – including many Muslim immigrants from Somalia – live and worship, Beall said.

Wright is the owner of G&G Home Center in Liberal, Beall said. Allen works there.

The men are members of a small militia group that call themselves the Crusaders, Beall said. The bombing was scheduled for Nov. 9 so as to not affect the general election.

8. Am I the only one bemused by the fact that two of the three idiots are from Liberal Kansas?

More seriously, I'm glad these three were caught before they could cause any physical harm and that they are being charged with domestic terrorism.
