Man Who Tried to Blow Up Federally Owned Cabin Scouted Mosques
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah militia group leader accused of trying to blow up a federally owned cabin in rural Arizona also scouted mosques and U.S. military facilities as possible targets, an FBI agent testified on Wednesday.
William Keebler, who authorities say has ties to Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, took video of an unidentified mosque and cased federal offices such as National Guard facilities before settling on the remote cabin, FBI agent Steve Daniels said.
Keebler’s militia had seven members, including three who were actually undercover FBI agents, Daniels said.
