Suspected skinheads aimed to kill, cops say

Officials uncover plot to bomb minorities Two alleged neo-Nazis who face federal charges for illegally selling firearms had their sights set much higher -- killing minorities in southern New Jersey by detonating a bomb similar to the one used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, authorities said. One of the suspected skinheads, Gabriel Carafa, 24, of Pennsville, Salem County, approached a man -- who turned out to be a confidential informant working with the state Division of Criminal Justice's Office of Bias Crimes -- in January and said he was looking for cohorts to build a bomb that he could use to kill minorities. (...) The informant relayed the tip to the Office of Bias Crimes and authorities quickly set up a sting using an undercover investigator to catch Carafa, Hagerty said. Working with the confidential informant, the undercover investigator quickly struck a deal in which Carafa agreed to provide the bomb's ingredients if they agreed to build it. Carafa delivered 60 pounds of urea -- a commercial fertilizer that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy J. McVeigh used in creating the bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and killed 168 people. But investigators found the compound "low grade and insufficient for bomb use," Hagerty said. siehe auch: Men with hate group ties sought bomb.
