LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan who prosecutors say plotted to detonate a nail bomb at a Los Angeles-area white nationalist rally, hoping to cause mass casualties, was arrested in an FBI online sting operation, federal prosecutors said on Monday.
Mark Steven Domingo, 26, a U.S. Army infantryman who fought in Afghanistan and recently converted to Islam, was taken into custody on Friday after being given what he thought was a live bomb to use in the attack by an FBI informant, law enforcement officials said.
Often we are asked what keeps us up at night. This is a case that keeps us up at night, Ryan Young, special agent in charge of the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force, told a news conference in Los Angeles.
Domingo, who had purchased several hundred long nails to serve as shrapnel in an improvised explosive device, had also suggested attacks on Jews, police officers, churches, a military facility, Southern California freeways and the Santa Monica Pier during internet conversations with the informant, Young said.
He was charged in a federal criminal complaint with providing material support to terrorists and was expected to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles later on Monday. It was not immediately clear if he had retained an attorney.

Now that is the TRUTH of the article not some lie that this Domingo rat was a veteran but he chose to join the "religion of peace" and kill white people.
More like 30-40K. In my dealings on the S Texas border chasing grass crawling invaders, I would guess to venture a guess, over a hundred sneaking across the defunct border. And we were just a merry band of 7, on 4wheelers, with dogs. Happy hunting right there....
This is the hero’s that Omar talks about when spewing antisemitism remarks. What party is she a member of in congress?
The white nationalist rally ended up not happening. Was there ever a rally planned are was that just an excuse by the Dems to have a reason? He had a dishonorable discharge from the army why was he allow to purchase the guns?
Definition of white nationalist. First off you have to be white. Second you have care about the country. Third you care about the constitution and the country’s laws. What a group of radicals we cannot have that.
Yup! Trolled big time!
“How do you sneak a bomb onto a patio with 5 drunks standing around?”
Disguise it as a pony keg of beer and roll it on the patio between the drunks.
This should be in the title:
“recently converted to Islam, “
This is why he was doing it, not because he was a combat veteran.
“(The pro-Trump group)March to END Sanctuary State “
That would be like every FReeper and millions of others.
Reuters, AP, Los Angeles Times, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, and the Washnigton Post, all used this term—white supremacy—to label a pro-Trump group.
Right there is your fake news and hate, exhibit # 131,234,254,353.
Looks like California is more FUBAR than usual these days. Maybe the California establishment will build a wall to keep everyone in California, where they can tax them. You have government, of, by and for the leftards, and more and more people will embrace extremism and violence. What other option is there? Voting?

Im always curious about at what point did interest and discussion becomes a plan. How much of a roll did our Govt play? Would it have occurred regardless ?
Role not roll
white nationalist is anyone who doesn’t want complete open borders and doesn’t fully embrace every single leftwing policy.
Democrats are fundraising on the lie of 'White Nationalists Everywhere'...
Wouldn't surprise me if the SPLC and DNC weren't chipping to to pay for this crap - they're the ones benefiting.
the ‘white nationalist patient zero’ of the new era, Robert Spencer, is an Obama-voting socialist with no actual followers except for the enemedia... this is not a very deep charade
Doesn't need to be 'deep' - the press wants to believe so badly the thin deceptions in place aren't even necessary.
