Three members of a white supremacist group arrested last month by the FBI were planning to bomb the offices of the Anti-Defamation League in New York and the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles along with other buildings around the United States, an FBI agent said at the men’s bail hearing. The men were also charged with planning to rob banks to finance the bombings and hatching a plot to contaminate a city’s water supply with cyanide. The judge at the hearing ordered the men held without bond and set a trial date for April 27.
