A US federal grand jury has indicted three men from Virginia with planning to attack synagogues and black churches, Associated Press reports.
Prosecutors claim that 34-year-old Robert C. Doyle, 33-year-old Ronald Beasley Channey II, and 30-year-old Charles D. Halderman, Jr., planned to rob a coin dealer for money to buy weapons and prepare for a race war.
All three have prior criminal backgrounds and are being held without bond. The FBI says that they are connected to a white supremacist group, and that both Doyle and Chaney are involved in "a white supremacy extremist version of the Asatru faith."
