A U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan who prosecutors say plotted to cause 'mass casualties' with explosive devices has been taken into custody following an FBI online sting operation, federal prosecutors said on Monday
LOS ANGELES, April 29 - A U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan who prosecutors say plotted to detonate a bomb at a Los Angeles-area rally, causing mass casualties, has been taken into custody following an FBI online sting operation, federal prosecutors said on Monday.
"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 Nick Hanna said in the statement. Prosecutors say that in online conversations with an undercover FBI source, Domingo expressed support for a violent jihad and expressed willingness to become a martyr.
