Federal authorities said four Georgia men between the ages of 65 and 73 are accused of plotting to buy explosives, and produce a deadly biological toxin to attack fellow U.S. citizens and government officials, were arrested yesterday.

All of the men were members of a fringe domestic militia group who had planned to manufacture ricin for their attacks. Ricin can cause death from exposure to as little as a pinhead amount. Most victims die between 36 hours and 72 hours after exposure, and there is no known antidote.

The men attended meetings, which were monitored by FBI agents with the assistance of a confidential informant, starting in March where they discussed carrying out crimes, including murder, in order to undermine federal and state government.

The targets included local police, federal government buildings and employees of agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia,

While many are focused on the threat posed by international violent extremists, this case demonstrates that we must also remain vigilant in protecting our country from citizens within our own borders who threaten our safety and security
