AUSTIN, Texas — A 40-year-old man was arrested in Texas early Wednesday on suspicion of plotting to attack the state Capitol, authorities said, in an act reportedly motivated by anger at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobby group.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a statement that it received “credible information about an individual planning a violent attack” for Thursday in Austin. Officials did not provide details about the alleged plot, citing an ongoing investigation.
The tip came in Tuesday evening, and SWAT officers made the arrest at about 3 a.m. Wednesday at a residence in Converse, near San Antonio.
Benny Caldera Jr. was charged with making a terroristic threat against a public servant, a felony, the DPS statement said. He made bond, according to online court records in Bexar County, but DPS said later Wednesday that Caldera was in federal custody after being arrested by the FBI to face additional federal charges.
Gov. Greg Abbott said DPS was assisted by the FBI in making the arrest.
“Texas will NOT tolerate threats of violence against our Capitol,” the governor said in a statement on social media.
Officials did not provide details about the alleged plot, citing the ongoing investigation. But an arrest warrant affidavit cited by NBC News quoted a friend of Caldera who said he was angry at the AIPAC, and believed that “these people have to be exterminated.”

What’s his FReeper handle?
Hating AIPAC isn’t limited to the extreme russo-paleocons, the left and everyone on the pro Hamas pro Iran side hates them too.
And then there are folks who just hate lobbyists generally ...
Muz Eyes.
The anti-Israel bunch are completely insane. None of their arguments are grounded in reality. They believe Israel randomly commits genocide instead of reacting to attacks by the terrorists.
What is his denomination?
Another moderate Muslim?
The Nation and the goal of Israel as founded, is evil. They are on a mission to control the world. They likely will in the personification of a World Leader. We call him the Man of Sin, the Antichrist.
Christians need to put down the nonsensical babblings of a Rapture. There is no magical pre-Trib taking away of believers. There will be Great Tribulations, and then the end comes. The living and the dead will be raised.
Supporters of the Nation of Israel and the Jews are unknowing agents of Satan.
Israel is right now, destroying the US and its power, reversing years of dominance, by depleting our treasury and arms. Rearranging alliances in their favor, as they position themselves to “Rule the World”.
People wonder how has FR fallen so far? It is because anyone who dares oppose certain wars and persons, is taunted and/or ignored into moving on.
Username checks out.
nonstop pimping of antisemitism by a major political party will bring out the moon howlers.
