Terrorist wanted to cause as many casualties as possible
A Muslim convert radicalized by left-wing rhetoric planned to bomb a right-wing rally and cause “as many casualties as possible” in revenge for the Christchurch mosque massacre.
Authorities say 26-year-old US Army veteran Mark Domingo planned to build and detonate a weapon of mass destruction at the rally in Long Beach. He also considered other targets, including Jewish people, churches and police officers.
Domingo also told undercover FBI agents that he was contemplating a Las Vegas massacre-style attack on Santa Monica Pier at the height of summer.
“America needs another Vegas event” in order to “give them a taste of the terror they gladly spread all over the world,” wrote Domingo.
