FBI: Four militia members plotted to attack buildings, release poison

Four Georgia men in their 60's and 70's were arrested Tuesday, accused of being
members of a right wing militia group that plotted to attack federal office buildings
and to dispose a deadly biological poison in Atlanta.
Their alleged plot was revealed to the FBI by a informant last spring, and members
of the group have been meeting since May with someone they thought was a black-
market weapons dealer but who turned out to be an undercover federal agent,
according to court documents.
No attacks were ever attempted. Federal officials say the men were disrupted before
they could act on the plot.
The documents say that the men, Frederick Thomas, 73, of Cleveland, Ga.;
Dan Roberts, 67, Ray Adams, 65, and Samuel Crump, 68, all of Tocoa, called themselves "the covert group" and began in March to talk about staging attacks against federal targets including the IRS.
A confidential informant secretly recorded some of the meetings for the FBI.
They allegedly obtained a silencer from the undercover agent and plotted to but explosives. Crump claimed he could produce ricin, a deadly biological agent, and talked about dispersing it from a car driving on an interstate highway, according to court documents.
According to federal investigators, Crump had worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta in the past doing "maintenance-type services" for a contractor, and Adams used to work for a U.S. Department of Agriculture agency called the Agricultural Research Service as a lab technician.
