WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) UPDATE (10/14/16): Three men were arrested on Friday for threatening to attack an apartment complex and mosque in Garden City.

Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright and Patrick Stein were all charged with domestic terrorism.

Authorities say the three were planning to bomb an apartment complex and mosque in Garden City occupied by Somali refugees.

The FBI says the men planned to carry out the attack on Nov. 9, the day after Election Day.

We first learned about the investigation when Liberal police and the FBI shutdown multiple streets in town on Tuesday.

If convicted, all three men could face life in prison.

2. They all have facebook pages

And I'm not sure about religion but at least one is definitely very racist against muslims and have alt-right type stuff on their pages. There are clues at least one is a Trump supporter, too, based on images. I think that one was Stein.

They all belong to this facebook group:

Three members of a Kansas militia group were charged on Friday with plotting to bomb an apartment building filled with Somali immigrants in the western Kansas meatpacking town of Garden City.

Acting US attorney Tom Beall said Curtis Wayne Allen, Patrick Eugene Stein and Gavin Wayne Wright are members of a group calling itself the Kansas Security Force.

The arrests were the culmination of an eight-month FBI investigation that took agents “deep into a hidden culture of hatred and violence”, Beall said. The suspects conspired to detonate a bomb at a Garden City apartment complex where Somalis were among roughly 120 residents, he said.

The men, who were arrested in Liberal on Friday morning, performed surveillance of the apartment building and prepared a manifesto, Beall said. If convicted, the men could be sentenced to up to life in federal prison without parole.

'It will be a bloodbath': Inside the Kansas militia plot to ignite a religious war

The "Crusaders" knew they wanted to kill Muslims - and, with luck, to use the "bloodbath" to ignite a religious war - but for months they couldn't settle on a plan.

The easiest way would be to grab guns, go to the predominantly Somali-Muslim apartment complex they'd been surveilling and start kicking in doors, court documents said. They would spare no one, not even babies.

In the end, they decided to set off bombs similar to the one Timothy McVeigh used in 1995 to kill 168 people in Oklahoma City. They planned to strike after the November 8 election, investigators said.
