USA: Police arrest 10 neo-Nazis planning to murder immigrants and Jewish people

News server iDNES.cz reports that police have arrested 10 members of the neo-Nazi organization American Front in the US state of Florida. Detectives say they were preparing to murder immigrants and Jewish people.

The raid against the neo-Nazis in Osceola took place last weekend. Police decided to take action on the basis of information from an FBI agent who had infiltrated the right-wing extremists and followed them for two years.

Marcus Faella (age 39) and his wife Patricia (age 37) led the group. Neo-Nazis trained with AK-47 automatic rifles and learned hand-to-hand combat on property they owned that was hidden in the forest.

The Orlando Sentinel newspaper reports that the group was even considering producing ricin, an extremely poisonous toxin, from the seeds of the castor oil plant. They believed themselves to be preparing for a race war which was inevitable. Faella allegedly planned to turn his property into a base for Aryan resistance after the fall of the US government.

American Front is one of the most radical neo-Nazi organizations in the US. Its members are responsible for many violent attacks and murders. Last year, however, their leader David Lynch was shot dead and the significance of the organization in neo-Nazi circles fell noticeably. Faella was planning to attract new disciples to the movement by committing a wave of violence.
