WASHINGTON — Four Georgia men in their 60s and 70s were arrested Tuesday, accused of being members of a right-wing militia group that plotted to attack federal office buildings and to disperse a deadly biological poison in Atlanta.

<..> "I'd say the first ones that need to die is the ones in the government buildings," Adams was overheard saying in an April 16 meeting, according to the FBI.

"When it comes down to it, I can kill somebody," he allegedly said.

<..> "While many are focused on the threat posed by international violent extremists, this case demonstrates that we must also remain vigilant in protecting our country from citizens without our own borders who threaten our safety and security," said the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Sally Quillian Yates, in a written statement.

Crazy militia nuts, they are dangerous and need to be rooted out. I'm glad these old farts got caught. Let's see how they like spending the rest of their lives in jail.

Damn straight! Oklahoma City Tragedy? I think they meant to write "within our own borders" instead of "without", though.

"Their alleged plot was revealed to the FBI by a confidential informant last spring, and members of the group have been meeting since May with someone they thought was a black-market weapons dealer but who turned out to be an undercover federal agent, according to court documents."

I hope they throw away the freaking key. It's looks like if there hadn't have been an undercover guy..it might have gone off as planned.

of course they don't use the term "terrorists."

great comment after article:
"Wonder if senior citizen redneck men will be specially targeted for security checks now?"

thank you for posting that, jaxx.

What the hell? Men in their 60s and 70s? I guess with age doesn't always come wisdom.

I would be interested to know if any of them collect Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid/Disability.

I want to make sure they lose their benefits AND have to pay for their incarceration, just like everybody else does.
