Neo-Nazi, associate nabbed in Seattle

Neo-Nazi Keith Gilbert had just left his home in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood to walk his German shepherd Blondie early yesterday morning when federal agents, including the FBI SWAT team, made their move. The 65-year-old Gilbert -- a veteran race warrior who once bragged that he planned to blow up the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with 1,400 pounds of TNT and did prison time for threatening black children -- was arrested without incident on multiple weapons charges including selling machine guns and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Agents later removed a small arsenal from his home at 1408 N.E. 65th St. (...) At the same time, agents in Aberdeen closed in on John Hejna, 44, who was charged with possession of C-4, a military-grade, plastic explosive, as well as with conspiracy to sell the C-4. An unidentified witness told agents that Hejna was working with the local leader of the Nazi Low Riders who said his crew "routinely roughed up" gays and blacks on Capitol Hill. siehe auch: Supremacist held in plot to sell machine guns, Weapons cache seized, Supremacists nabbed for selling guns, Supremacist Charged in Machine Gun Sales. 3 Men, Including Supremacist Who Did Time for MLK Plot, Arrested on Gun and Explosives Charges
