Alleged white supremacist arrested in thwarted synagogue attack in Colorado, FBI says
November 4, 2019 / 6:02 PM / CBS/AP
A man who repeatedly espoused anti-Semitic views has been arrested in a plot to bomb a historic Colorado synagogue, federal officials said Monday. The co-conspirators turned out to be undercover agents. Court documents say Richard Holzer was arrested Friday in Pueblo just after the agents brought him what were supposedly two pipe bombs along with dynamite to blow up Temple Emanuel. In fact, the undercover agents had phony bombs incapable of causing damage, authorities said.
The agents said Holzer described the inert explosives as "absolutely gorgeous" and said they should go ahead with the attack overnight to avoid police. He had allegedly earlier made threatening comments about Pueblo's Jewish community and said he wanted to plot "something that tells them they are not welcome in this town," according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.
"This kind of behavior is frankly, intolerable in our city," Pueblo police chief Troy Davenport said at a news conference Monday.
Holzer, 27, faces one count of attempting to obstruct religious exercise by force using explosives and fire, a federal hate crime. He made his first court appearance Monday to answer to the charges officials described as domestic terrorism.
