On the other hand, commented, “This investigation successfully disrupted a very real threat posed by a trained combat soldier who repeatedly stated he wanted to cause the maximum number of casualties. Protecting Americans from terror attacks is the number one priority of the Justice Department, and anyone who plots to use a weapon of mass destruction will be held to account.”
“The individual charged in this case wanted to carry out a mass casualty attack with explosive devices, and he moved very quickly from talking about violence to mobilizing to commit such an attack. This case should remind the public of the need to be vigilant and notify law enforcement if you see suspicious behavior,” said Assistant Director Michael McGarrity of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division.
The announcement regarding Domingo’s arrest comes after shooting at a synagogue in Poway, California on Saturday. Authorities called the shooting a hate crime.
