AP: Robert Neil Joos, 56, a self-professed white supremacist from McDonald County, was charged Thursday in federal court with illegally possessing firearms, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

A search of Joos’ 200-acre property was the result of an investigation into a “retreat location in McDonald County used by white supremacists,â┚¬ said Matt Whitworth, acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, in a statement.

Joos was charged in a federal criminal complaint filed in Springfield with being a felon in possession of firearms, Whitworth said.

Joos was arrested Thursday and remained in federal custody pending a detention hea
ring set for Monday.

The statement by Whitworth said the arrest stemmed from a federal investigation into a Feb. 26, 2004, bombing that injured Don Logan, the director of the diversity office for the city of Scottsdale, Ariz., who is a black man. Two others were injured in the attack.

The undercover investigation focused on several people involved in white-supremacist movements throughout the United States.

According to an affidavit by Special Agent Kevin Farnsworth, brothers Daniel and Dennis Mahon were identified as suspects in the Arizona bombing.

A federal indictment unsealed Thursday in Arizona charges the Mahons with conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosives. The indictment also says the brothers intended to “promote racial discordâ┚¬ on behalf of the War Aryan Resistance.

Authorities who arrested the brothers at their home in Davis Junction, Ill., said they had assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and white-supremacist material.


In 2005, according to the affidavit, the Mahon brothers told undercover investigators about a “retreatâ┚¬ location in Missouri that members of the “movementâ┚¬ used for survival training. It was occupied by Joos.

A confidential informant and two undercover agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives visited Joos at his McDonald County property on three occasions, in January 2008 and in January and February 2009. During those visits, the affidavit says, they observed different firearms and ammunition.

Joos is characterized in the affidavit as a “long-time white supremacist associate and an expert on weapons, explosives, bomb making and general survival skills.â┚¬

Update: Warsaw white supremacist investigated in 2004 bombing case

Warsaw resident Tom Metzger, seen here in a 2002 file photo, has been investigated in connection with a 2004 bombing in Phoenix. Metzger, identified by federal agents as president of the White Aryan Resistance, has not been arrested but computers and other items have been removed from his home, authorities said.

PHOENIX — Agents from U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went to the Warsaw home of Thomas Metzger with a search warrant
on Thursday, an investigation officials now say is in connection with a 2004 bombing that injured a black city official in a Phoenix suburb.

Special Agent Tom Mangan, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said federal agents removed computers and other items from the home of Metzger, president of the White Aryan Resistance, as part of their investigation into the bombing.

Metzger has not been arrested and did not return phone calls to the Associated Press.

But one of the two Illinois brothers charged in that bombing had extensive ties with white supremacist groups, including Metzger's, and once was deported from Canada bec
ause of his activities.

Groups that track hate groups describe Dennis Mahon, 58, as a prominent player in white supremacist groups for 15 to 20 years. Less is known about his twin brother, Daniel Mahon, but he also belonged to such groups, federal officials said Friday.

Mangan said authorities are looking into other members of white supremacist groups who associated with the Mahon brothers, and that more arrests could come in the bombing case.

The Mahons are charged with conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosive. They were arrested Thursday at their home in Davis Junction, Ill., where authorities say they found assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition
and white supremacist material.

The brothers pleaded not guilty and were in the custody of federal authorities in Illinois. They are scheduled for an extradition hearing Wednesday.

Authorities didn't know if the brothers had attorneys.

On Feb. 26, 2004, a package detonated in the hands of Don Logan, Scottsdale's diversity director at the time, in the city's Human Resources Complex. The explosion injured his hand and arm and hurt a secretary.

Dennis Mahon led the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma in 1991, recruited neo-Nazis and skinheads in the former East Germany, and later joined White Aryan Resistance, according to the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center.

"Dennis Mahon in the 90s was one of the scarier guys around," said Mark Potok, director of the center's Intelligence Project.


In 1993, Dennis Mahon was deported from Canada after an immigration official ruled he would likely break the law while there. Officials there had obtained a videotape of a 1991 speech Mahon gave to the neo-Nazi Heritage Front in Toronto and similar tapes from Germany and the U.S.

Daniel Mahon was a member of the White Aryan Resistance and a recruiter for the KKK, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

A federal indictment unsealed Thursday says Dennis Mahon participated in the construction of the bomb, disguising it in a cardboard box addressed to Logan, an ombudsman for city employees and citizens on issues including racial and sex discrimination. The explosion forced the evacuation of 25 people in the building.

Dennis Mahon also is charged with malicious damage of a building by means of explosive and distribution of information related to explosi
ves, according to the indictment.

Authorities said the Wednesday arrest of Robert Neil Joos, 56, of Missouri, arose from the bombing. He is charged with being a felon in possession of firearms but is not charged in the bombing.

Dennis Mahon made a call to a cell phone registered to Joos the morning of the bombing, according to an affidavit filed supporting the arrest.

A public defender assigned to his case did not immediately return a call for comment Friday afternoon.

Good update WB, sad to see whats happening as Obongo's goons are let loose. Like the way they refer to "Groups that track hate groups". Of course they refer to ADL SPLC etc ad nauseam. The movement must be full of informants and patsies..

All this is not happening in a vacuum with Hal and other key figures being persecuted. The time of Jacobs troubles is at hand perhaps...
