Officials say a former U.S. Army infantryman who served in Afghanistan was arrested and charged with 'plotting a terror attack designed to inflict mass casualties at a political rally that took place in Long Beach this past Sunday.'
The Department of Justice announced Monday the arrest of a former U.S. Army infantryman who is accused of plotting a"mass casualty" terrorist attack at a white nationalist rally in Long Beach, California over the weekend.
"This investigation successfully disrupted a very real threat posed by a trained combat soldier who repeatedly stated he wanted to cause the maximum number of casualties," U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Nick Hanna said in a statement. Domingo"expressed support for violent jihad," the affidavit alleges, and he had expressed intentions to target Jews, churches and police officers in revenge for attacks against Muslims. Domingo specifically cited the March attack against Muslim worshipers in New Zealand, posting online,"there mustbe retribution."
