Glendon Scott Crawford, a reputed member of the Ku Klux Klan, took undercover FBI agents along last week as he scouted out an Albany mosque and an Islamic center in Schenectady
as "viable target" locations. Crawford, one of two alleged plotters who
were arrested, then reportedly took the agents to a garage in which he
assembled what he believed to be a lethal device capable of silently
killing the intended victims with radiation.
Court documents show that Crawford approached an Albany-area
synagogue and another Jewish organization in 2012 hoping to "speak with
a person who might be willing to help him with a type of technology
that could be used by Israel to defeat its enemies, specifically, by killing Israel's enemies while they slept." Instead, the groups called law enforcement authorities.
