posted on January 24, 2019

The New York Times’s Michael Gold reports that four suspects were arrested for allegedly plotting to attack Islamberg, a rural Muslim community in upstate New York. Authorities said that they recovered 23 firearms and three homemade bombs from three young men and one 16-year-old individual. Gold writes, “Over the past several years, Islamberg has been attacked by anti-Muslim groups and some right-wing conspiracy theorists, who have said that the town is actually a terrorist training camp despite its peaceful history.”
