From ABC News. Member of white supremacy group indicted for threatening federal officials: DOJ
(snip) A member of a white supremacist online terror group has been indicted for allegedly conspiring to develop a hit list of "high value targets" for assassination -- including federal officials, according to the Justice Department.
(snip) Federal prosecutors allege that 24-year-old Noah Lamb was part of a broader group called "The Terrorism Collective," which is a group that communicates on the site Telegram, an encrypted messaging server.
The group promotes "white supremacist accelerationism: an ideology centered around the belief that the white race is superior; that society is irreparably corrupt and cannot be saved by political action," according to federal prosecutors.
