Four Georgia Men Accused in Plot Tied to Absolved Novel
Four elderly Georgia men Frederick Thomas 73 Dan Roberts 67 Ray Adams 65 and Samuel Crump 68 faced federal charges alleging they planned a wave of terror influenced by the underground novel Absolved. Prosecutors say they discussed using ricin and explosives to target IRS and ATF offices and to strike major U.S. cities with a plane or car attack. Investigators tracked them for seven months, arresting them after infiltrating meetings at a Waffle House and other locations. The men were jailed awaiting bail hearing as U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates urged vigilance against homegrown threats.
