Army soldier arrested for allegedly passing on bomb-making instructions to fellow 'radicals'; sought to blow up cell towers; allegedly told undercover agent he wanted to build a 'large vehicle bomb' to attack a major news outlet, authorities say.
An Army soldier was arrested for allegedly passing on bomb-making instructions to fellow"radicals" and sought to blow up cell towers and news stations, authorities announced on Monday.
In a chat Friday on the cloud-based instant messaging service, Telegram, an undercover agent said he wanted to target a"liberal Texas mayor" for bombing and asked Smith if he had any other suggestions, according to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Brandon LaMar. During his 2018 flirtation with the Ukrainian militia, Smith said passed on instructions on how to make improvised explosive devices that could be detonated with a cell phone, according to the FBI.
"Smith talked with the confidential source about killing members of the far left group, Antifa, as well as destroying nearby cell towers or local news station," the affidavit said.
