HeadlineMay 07, 2013

FBI officials say they have prevented a terrorist attack in a small Minnesota town by arresting a man linked to a local militia who is accused of stashing a trove of weapons and explosives in a mobile home. Buford Rogers was arrested Friday after authorities found Molotov cocktails, suspected pipe bombs and firearms. The Rogers family reportedly started a local anti-government militia group called the Black Snake Militia. An FBI spokesperson said Monday: “The FBI believed there was a terror attack in its planning stages.”
