A self-described neo-Nazi has pleaded guilty to federal hate crime and explosives charges for plotting to blow up an historic synagogue in Colorado.
Officials said they have arrested a 27-year-old suspected white supremacist who was allegedly planning a bombing at a Colorado synagogue.
"This is the most important work that we can do -- protecting our communities by stopping an attack before it occurred," Dunn said in a statement. Undercover agents made contact with Holzer through a Facebook account after he was observed using social media to promote white supremacy ideology and acts of violence. Prosecutors said he frequently visited Temple Emanuel to observe Jewish congregants.
During a meeting with undercover agents, the suspect expressed hatred of Jews and coordinated with the agents to obtain explosives.
