Second Person Pleads Guilty in Plot to Bomb Fort Riley
The person he was assisting, John T. Booker, was following Islamic state ideology.
A 30-year-old Topeka man involved in the conspiracy to set off a bomb at Fort Riley, Kan., pleaded guilty Monday in federal court.
Alexander E. Blair admitted that he shared some of the political views of John T. Booker Jr., and was aware of his plans to detonate a bomb at the U.S. Army base near Junction City.
Blair also gave Booker money to rent a storage locker which he used to store bomb components, according to the terms of Monday’s plea agreement in U.S. District Court in Topeka.
