Ten alleged members of a white supremacist group -- training near Orlando, Florida for a "race war" -- have been rounded up in a series of arrests, the Reuters website reports today (May 8, 2012).
The arrests were based on evidence from a confidential informant who infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization known as the American Front (AF) 17 months ago, according to an arrest affidavit.
"The American Front is a military-styled, anti-Semitic, white supremacist, skinhead organization and is known as a domestic terrorist organization," the affidavit said.
It also said the group's alleged local ringleader, Marcus Faella, 39, had been "planning and preparing the AF for what he believes to be an inevitable race war" and had stated "his intent to kill Jews, immigrants, and other minorities."
