FBI arrests men, plotting to bomb black churches
The FBI has arrested three people over planning to bomb and launch armed attacks against places of worship frequented by African Americans.
Identified as Ronald Beasley Chaney and Robert Curtis Doyle, the two were arrested Sunday after meeting with an informant with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Chesterfield, Virginia, according to court documents released Tuesday.
The Feds initially received reports that the two, who both have prior charges, were discussing plans at Doyle’s Chesterfield home on September 27 to "bomb or shoot up" black churches as well as synagogues “in furtherance of their extremist beliefs.”
They were said to “ascribe to a white supremacy extremist version of the Asatru faith,” a neo-pagan religion, made by a combination of Norse mythology and pre-Christian Germanic religious practices.
Chaney and Doyle were practically detained on charges of attempts to obtain illegal firearms.
A third person, identified as Charles Halderman, was also arrested in connection with the case on other charges, including plans to attack a gun store.
On November 12, Doyle and Chaney are set to attend the court for a preliminary detention hearing while Halderman is due in court on November 13.
Hoping to ignite a race war, 21-year-old Dylann Roof (pictured above), recently launched a deadly shooting at an African American church in South Carolina, raising concerns among the country’s blacks and human rights activists.
The tragic incident made the US Department of Justice to announce last month that a counsel for “domestic terrorism” would be appointed.
The mass shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston on the evening of June 17, left nine African Americans dead, while a tenth victim survived.
