Bomb technicians defuse a sophisticated improvised explosive device
(IED) found in a backpack along the Spokane, Wash., route of a Martin

found in the dismantled bomb, officials about two months later identify
and arrest Kevin William Harpham, a long-time neo-Nazi. Harpham had
posted more than 1,000 messages to the neo-Nazi Vanguard News Network
since 2004, when he was a member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance.
Harpham also had contributed to the white supremacist Aryan Alternative
newspaper. He is indicted on one count of attempted use of a weapon of
mass destruction and one count of possessing an IED. Later, federal hate

White supremacist ex-convict David "Joey" Pedersen, 31, and his
girlfriend, Holly Ann Grigsby, 24, are arrested in California after a
murderous rampage in three states. Grigsby tells police that she and
Pedersen "were on their way to Sacramento to kill more Jews." The first
killed were Pedersen's father and stepmother in Everett, Wash. Another
man was killed in Lafayette, Ore., because the pair thought he was
Jewish. An African-American man was found shot to death in Eureka,
Calif. Pederson earlier served time for threatening to kill the federal
judge who handled the Ruby Ridge case of white separatist Randy Weaver.
Pederson pleads guilty in March 2012. He will receive a mandatory life
sentence without possibility of parole. Grigsby pleads not guilty and
awaits trial.

Four members of an unnamed North Georgia militia are arrested in an
alleged plot to bomb federal buildings, attack cities including Atlanta
with deadly ricin, and murder law enforcement officials. The men �
Frederick Thomas, 73, Samuel J. Crump, 68, Dan Roberts, 67, and Ray H.
Adams, 65 � allegedly discussed dispersing ricin powder in a series of
cities, "taking out" a list of officials to "make the country right
again," and scouting buildings in Atlanta to bomb. Authorities say the
plot was inspired by an online novel, Absolved, written by longtime
Alabama militiaman Mike Vanderboegh. Thomas, the accused ringleader, and
Roberts plead guilty in April 2012 to charges of conspiring to possess
explosives and firearms.

Joseph Benjamin Thomas and Samuel James Johnson of Mendota Heights,
Minn., are indicted on federal weapons and drug charges following a
federal investigation into their alleged plans to form a white
supremacist group called the "Aryan Liberation Movement" and commit
violence against minorities, leftists and government officials.
Prosecutors allege that Thomas planned to attack the Mexican consulate
in St. Paul on May 1 with a truck loaded with barrels of oil and gas
that he would set on fire, believing that the attack would stir debate
on immigration amnesty prior to the 2012 elections. An affidavit
unsealed in federal court reveals that Johnson, a former leader of the
neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement in Minnesota with past convictions
for armed crimes, was trying to recruit others to his cause and scouted
for a training compound in Illinois and Minnesota. Johnson pleads not
guilty and awaits trial.
